I've been hearing a lot on hear about randalls rack lately, but mostly from people who dont yet have it. I was wondering who here has actually got a kit installed on the car, what they thought of the before and after, as well as the ease of install.

Thanks.

I'll tell you what a local mustang resto shop told me: get the flaming river steering box. He said he's has the best luck and the happiest customers from it. He's had customers who had it, went to theTCP R&P who then went BACK to the flaming river box. Mind you he deals with some very wealthy clientele.

HMMM it probably end up costing the same either steering box or rack by the time you buy the tie rod ends.

But really is there anyone here that has it.

I'm almost ready to buy one for my coupe and would like to know how it was? will headers fit. Shorties to be exact so they clear the aod.

If you have shorties you'll have no issues. The issues with headers people are talking about are with long tubes.

Incorrect, there are clearance issues with shorties too when using the FR rack, search the topic on the VMF.
