e28 steering rack to e30 ?

Post Tue Oct 25, 2005 9:01 pm

Hello.
I can source out some cheap e28 steering rack. I'm wondering whether it would be a relatively weays swap for my e30. as well do they have any better turning ratio ? (stock e30 is pathetic).

An e28 has a steering box !. Obviously this is not compatible with an e30.

thanks for info guys. I'll look for e36 rack then.
I'm just saying because I can source e28 parts locally for cheap. Anything else that would be worth upgrading ? what about brakes ??? aare they larger/bigger/straight bolt-on ?

E30 M3s use the same discs and calipers as E28 528/535s on the front...not sure about the rear...Remember that E30s (other than M3) are 4-stud and all E28s are 5-stud
