    Looks like a very comprehensive kit, and from my experience of putting Unisteer in a Model A and 32 Ford Hotrod..........they do work very well.
    Two questions;
    1. Can you get it with a manual rack?
    2. I know there are a lot of people that would like to have rack/pinion steering, but if it costs $1600 and complete kit like the R&C to eliminate the shock towers is $2500..........and you get no bump steer and much better suspension geometry............why spend $1600 and not replace the complete suspension...............not trying to start an argument, just asking.

    Thanks for taking on the project Unisteer. It is a great improvement over stock and well worth the expense. I am planning on installing a strut system to go along with Unisteer's rack and pinion system to really get my car to handle like a newer car.

    In my case I already have coil overs since I used the TCP kit and would have to start over without shock towers.

    I like it... add some coil overs and you will have a really nice handling car...

    Brandon.... I was looking at the install manual as I'm very interested in this kit. I see I'll have to replace my starter, but will it work with a stock exhaust system?
