spacers definitely weren’t there. Unbolted rack, bent tabs down, put spacers in, bolted it back up, good to go! Shocker - much smoother ride and quieter engine not that it’s not sitting on the rack/subframe

Pros: smoother ride, quieter engine
Cons: spacers missing, tabs bent
Vehicle: BMW

I run stage 2+ on e40 and daily it. Nobody needs this amount of power for a daily (500hp 3.4s 0-60). Also just hit 100k miles and I drive the hell out of it; just routine maintenance.

Pros: routine maintenance
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 160934 km

nothing has made as significant of a difference as the E46 ZHP rack swap. The biggest night and day difference of any part I've replaced on the whole car.

Pros: significant difference, night and day improvement

I went with the E46 ZHP rack (second fastest) as my very first "quality of life" upgrade and it dramatically improved the car.

Pros: dramatically improved steering

A friend of a buddy of mine has a '12 WRX and he did a 2019 STI rack swap on it - I was able to test drive it for an evening and I love the slightly harder feel and tighter turn.

Pros: slightly harder feel, tighter turn
Vehicle: Subaru

I have the Z3 rack in my 318is and I like the faster ratio because I drive it through small town Appalachia and these old, small, windy East Coast mountain roads.

Pros: faster ratio, good for windy roads

E series steering feel and steering rack put my new 2025 bmws to absolute shame. I can't stand the constant small corrections on the hwy. The steering feels lighter than a cheap Kia. All three 2021 to 2025 feel unstable at speed compared to my E92.

Pros: E series steering feel
Cons: unstable at speed

The G30 5 series had broken steering rack... all happened under warranty period too. They got it fixed for free but that's the most problematic new car my parents got.

Cons: broken, problematic
