it was very easy. I hope you got new tie rod ends as well. Also a tie rod fork will make it much easier to get the old off.

You didn't buy the steering shaft as well? Anyhow I bought the entire kit:rack, ends, rag adapter, steering shaft...everything. It was a straight forwared install.

Where'd you buy it? I'm getting one soon, but I wanted to wait and see if I could get a deal on one at Maple Grove first.

the best price I found was JDsperformance for $420 to the door. That was for the kit, part number 1892. I believe it comes with the steering shaft.

I bought mine from Wild Rides in Farmindale NJ, so I paid NJ state tax plus shipping. The fr1892 kit through them was 409.95, so that was the best I've found all around. I didn't mind paying the sales tax (in NJ), plus shipping cause I ordered it on Wed., got it today Thurs.(In state=1 day) Give em a call at (732)541-1516, and see if they have the best price around, could wind up being the same. It don't hurt to call.

Find em on the net at www.WildRidesRaceCars.com

From what I hear, it makes steering the car without P/S real easy. I had an 85 gt with no P/S, and kept the regular P/S rack in, and that wasn't to bad to steer, so I know this is by far 100x better. I used to drive the 85 everywhere, and it drove like a champ. I don't really care how this 94 handles, cause I didn't build it to handle, she's a strait forward ride.

Hey Stangbanger,
Thanks for the info. I like to buy 'local' when I can. I know they're 2hrs away, but that's still more local than FL. Ever been on the ECS website?

I bought mine from Anderson Ford Motorsport. Brian found me a specific 94/95 part number for me. It was something under $600 for eveything. Call the 1-800 number and ask for Brian Koestner. He'll know the part number b/c I called him and told him it worked great. I was very impressed with the entire kit. Granted my engine is out of the car but only took me an hour to install everything.
