Welcome to the zone! That sounds an awesome car!
Can't answer your question, but before you get to involved, consider fitting an E36 rack with its higher ratio.
It has a different spline to the E30 one, the pinion shaft is at a different angle, and the hydraulic banjos are in a different place. All of which may help or add to your problem.

that looks superb and sounds very fun!!!
what's the V8 from?
i'm toying with the idea of fitting M3 arches to my 335i touring too. is that a aftermarket kit?
oh and those wheels.........mmmmmmmmmm
