e30 power steering delete block instructions
These are directions on how to install the Garagistic power steering delete block for your BMW e30, e36, or z3. This is one of the most commonly upgraded parts on E30's and for good reason; the steering response benefits are well worth the trade of eliminating power steering. The numbing effect of power steering can be of great detriment on the track or autocrossing. The comfort trade-off is a choice many E30, E36, and Z3 owners make when making the switch to PSD.
