    IMAG0447.jpg Installed mine last winter . Love it. Drives and breaks so much better. IMHO well worth the cost . It literally came with everything you need.

    U finally got it all sorted out! U upgraded the brakes w/ the RC 107? Is that why it stops so much better?

    lol.. drive any newer car and then drive one of these older unibody's.

    Basically, if you've never driven on old leaky power steering assisted unibody Ford(especially one that's worn out)?.. it's literally night and day. MUCH more stable at higher speeds and even in heavy crosswinds too.

    Agreed! I almost wish I had went that route now. I did the Borg cuz didn't want to take the car down to the point needed to get the RC unit in. One thing I can say about the conversion: I don't have any leaks, only two hoses, tighter turning ratio, no more pump noise, better road feel for those reason alone -- better than what I had. Long story short, I don't have the ambition, time, welding skills and want to keep my car on the road -- so the Borg probably better compromise for me.
