Steering rack hack

Found out the comp pack has a 10% quicker steering rack then regular models because of revised Servotronic software. Anyway possible to revise the steering rack in a regular F10 to achieve comp pack steering response?

CP has a 20% stiffer shock/spring/anti roll bars set up and the mod,if possible,may not suit the characteristics of the non CP.

You might be right, my plan is to dial in the suspension and steering on a base model as close to a comp pack without having the stiff ride quality that I've heard some people talk about. Shooting for the Dinan handling setup, was wondering if steering rack could be made sharper.

Good luck but it may be a mammoth task as someone else said its a complicated set up.

Steering rack technically are the same just programming is different i am sure it's possible to code/program it to comp pack, i have upgrade full suspension on mine to competition including sway bars car feels more planted on the road, now i need to reprogram steering response.
