Condor was the first to bring the power steering delete to the market. Don't settle for reproductions. A simple yet effective way to remove your power steering and loop the steering rack, allowing fluid and air to continually circulate within. their popular power-steering delete is machined from a solid block of aluminum. If you've already removed your power steering, this is a great way to stop any unwanted leaks from the "hose mod". The reason you need a power-steering delete that actually loops the two banjo bolts is to not only to let any residual fluid pass from one side of the rack to the other but also to let the air inside flow freely from one side to the other. Without this pass-through, you will be compressing the air inside of your rack on each side when you turn the wheel, making it harder to steer, and eventually blowing out the seals. Condor's deletes work better because they have two passages allowing the fluid/air to flow freely. Installation is simple. You will need to remove the stock reservoir, power steering pump, and all hoses. Keep the stock banjo bolts and use our new washers to bolt it into place. Pros: Tighter more responsive steering. Better road feel/feedback Cons: Harder steering at speeds below 15mph Includes: Aluminum Power steering Delete 4 new washers Works with: 6/1986-1991 E30 BMW 325e 325es 325i 325ic 325is 325ix M3 1990-1991 E30 BMW 318i 318is 318ic 1992-1998 E36 BMW 318i 318is 318ti 318ic 323is 323ic 325i 325is 325ic 328i M3 1997-2002 Z3 BMW Z3 1.9 Z3 2.3 Z3 2.5i Z3 2.8 Z3 3.0i M Roadster M Roadster 1997 - 2006 E46 BMW 316i 318i 318ci 320i 320ci 323i 323ci 325i 325ci 328i 328ci 330i 330ci M3 2004 - 2013 E90/E91/E92/E93 BMW 316i 318i 320i 320si 323i 325i 328i 330i 335i 335is M3 2006 - 2008 Z4 BMW M Roadster only

ECS Tuning Steering Rack Spacers – A Simple Upgrade for More Angle

Whether you're just beginning your drift journey or looking to refine your current angle kit, ECS Tuning's Steering Rack Spacers offer a simple yet effective solution. Installation is straightforward—just remove the inner tie rods and place the spacers with the chamfered side facing the tie rod for an instant angle boost.

During the development of their ECS E90 drift build, the team at ECS Tuning was eager to hit the track and start testing. On the first day of driving, it quickly became apparent that two essential upgrades were needed: a welded differential (which led to the creation of their custom-fit differential plates – (T#:35121162) and increased steering angle. However, rather than jumping straight into a full-angle kit, ECS focused on incremental improvements to fine-tune the car’s handling.

ECS engineers, including a beginner drifter, carefully measured and tested different spacer sizes to optimize angle while maintaining proper thread engagement on the inner tie rod. After extensive testing, they determined that 5mm was the sweet spot—providing the extra angle needed while ensuring a strong and secure connection.

For those looking to enhance their drift setup without committing to an expensive angle kit, ECS Steering Rack Spacers offer an affordable and effective solution.

Key Benefits:

Gain approximately 5° of extra steering angle on an otherwise stock setup
Budget-friendly alternative to expensive angle kits
Simple, bolt-on installation—no major modifications required
Works as a standalone mod or can be paired with angle kits for even greater gains
Design & Materials:

Material: Mild Steel
Finish: Zinc Coated for durability
Size: 5mm spacers
Take your drifting to the next level—one small upgrade at a time with ECS Tuning’s Steering Rack Spacers!
