Modernize your vintage or classic car with electric power steering

What about modernizing our classic cars with an electric power steering kit?

In recent years, we have been using strategies to modernize our vintage cars and make them more enjoyable to drive. Several manufacturers have developed accessories that bring back the pleasure of driving our vehicles and, most importantly, allow us to not leave our classics in the garage due to lack of comfort or safety.

We mainly find accessories for performance and safety, such as:

- Electronic ignition
- Brake assistance
- Lighting systems
- Disc brake kits
- Air conditioning systems
- Electric power steering systems
- Suspension kits

All these modifications make driving our classic cars much more enjoyable and allow us to drive them more often because the driving experience is much less strenuous. It's not that our classics are undrivable, but they have become difficult to drive in today's traffic. The number of vehicles on the roads has exploded, and modern vehicles are equipped accordingly, causing us to lose touch with our classics, making driving them almost a challenge.

And let's be honest, who wouldn't dream of driving their classic car on a daily basis but with the driving experience of a modern vehicle?
Among all these accessories, the most appreciated for a comfortable and safe driving experience are the brake assist systems and electric power steering systems, which provide a smoother and safer driving experience.
For the electric power steering kits, the principle is simple and well designed. In most installations, they are ready-to-install kits. You just need to remove your original steering column and replace it with the electric power-assisted column and connect it electrically. These types of electric power steering systems have been developed and studied for each vehicle, taking into account factors such as weight, wheel size, and vehicle usage to ensure maximum performance and longevity.

The advantage of an electric power steering system lies mainly in the installation process, as the kit can generally be installed in a few hours (4 to 7 hours).

For example:

- An electric power steering kit for BMW E30 can be installed in 4 to 5 hours
- An electric power steering kit for Porsche 911 can be installed in 3 to 4 hours

In addition to being easy to install, electric power steering systems consume only 5 to 7 amps at most, do not use oil, so there is no risk of leaks, and they are adjustable either via a potentiometer or via the speed sensor that connects to the speedometer to adapt automatically to the driving conditions. They will reduce your steering efforts by 4 to 7 times. If you opt for an electric power steering system for your classic car, you will never look back and, most importantly, you will rediscover immense driving pleasure.
