WTB: Z3 Steering rack

[cormier]

To put in my e30. Would rather source one locally than shipping off eBay or somewhere else

I have a couple E36 racks available ($100), heard the reason the Z3 ratio is only shorter because it has less travel lock to lock.

Ya the z3 racks are indeed better, theyre also fixed rather than progressive i believe so you have sharper response in the middle, etc

The only issue being price -- you're quoting me 100 while z3 racks go for around 250 yikes!

Jay that's the best chart to show the differences I've seen! Good to see one show only one m3 rack is quicker.

The z4m one would be scary quick in an e30, sneeze and you are a goner lol

Cormier, my prices are always fair!
