197 Vs 200 Cup - different toe settings?

[RalphyBMW]

Does anyone know for sure if the toe settings on the 200 Cup are different to the 197 Cup?

Got my 200 Cup steering rack fitted yesterday, took the car for alignment today but the place doing the alignment didn't have anything post 2008, so the toe was set as a 197 Cup [Extreme Add-on Package].

Any info gratefully received!

Thanks to my very helpful local dealer;

197 / 200 Cup -0 degrees 12 minutes, +/- 12 minutes
197 200 non-Cup -0 degrees 10 minutes, +/- 8 minutes

I never understood the minutes part of the settings for toe/camber? Glad you got it sorted though mate

A minute of arc is equal to one sixtieth (1⁄60) of one degree

ahh right, so its just a tiny fraction of a degree. Thanks for the info. I was wondering how you used a time value to describe the toe setup

Hi Raplhy any feedback after fitting the 200 cup rack? Is there any noticeable difference in comparison to the slightly slower 197 rack? I am tempted to go for it, I don't know if it is worth the money though. Thanks!

To be honest the difference isn't that great. Its impact is hard to discern as I fitted it at the same time as a thicker anti-roll bar.

Right now my thoughts are that it probably isn't worthwhile unless you get one at a good price and have some other reason to drop the subframe.

ok I see. Thanks for feedback Ralphy!

Tnx for the feedback - was thinking about doing the same thing in the future.
