Is the Euro R steering rack a quicker ratio?

[F23Fanboy]

I am currently looking into options of making my steering rack ratio quicker as I have upgraded just about all of the suspension and I am having to turn the steering wheel a lot and I think I would benefit immensely from having a steering rack with a faster ratio. I have tried looking online with no success. So if anyone can tell me and provide the part number for the Euro R rack i would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Do you daily the car or race the car? Either way you probably don't need it.

Daily, but I need it. The steering is feels so incredibly slow now. The car would definitely benifit from a quicker rack.

Smaller steering wheel will reduce the turning ratio

dont know if it makes a difference or not, but the euro-r uses electric power steering i believe

It's all in your head. A good number of us had/have upgraded suspension, never once complained about slow steering.

A smaller steering wheel will effect nothing, you're still turning it the same distance, just more times.

Actually a smaller steering wheel will turn more per distance. Just like wheels and tires. A smaller tire has less circumference than a larger one. Ones hand motions will be less with a smaller steering wheel for the same steering input.

Turn to turn ratio will be the same but the steering will be quicker. Can't fight physics.

Its not in my head. I work as a mechanic and as a result I drive lots of other vehicles on a daily basis and it is very apparent that my car would benefit from a quicker rack.

Well if that is true that puts the swap out of the question. I don't have the harness to support the steering shaft speed sensor and the high voltage line for the electric motor on the rack plus other vital connections

Mm yeah I wish I had a quicker steering rack also. BMW really does have nice variable ratio steering racks
