anyone with a BRP R&P?
 
anyone like to chime in , if they like it or not.
Pro/Cons..

Yes i did a search both under rack and pinion / BRP / BRP rack and pinion
very little showed up.

i have the brp kit but havent installed it yet, i have read a few threads bout why not to use it but no one has ever chimed in that is using one.....

I was really thinking of it seriously.It packs R&P nicely at front and leaves space for oilpan clearance. But when i did count all what i wanted in my bub it was "cheaper" to bay aftermarket.

seriously there isnt any member that is running on that would like to post up?

You might try a search on pro-touring.com. I think it was there that I read some owner feedback.

if you can find that thread and link it that would be great because i have had no such luck finding anything like that at all.

I found the thread where the owner was complaining about the turning radius being worse than an F150 but you had already posted in the same thread. This is the major complaint I have heard of about this setup and the reason I did not use it.

One flaw is that they use a shortened 4th gen Fbody rack.

Shortening a rack may cause some bump steer.

well I have done this to my car and it has been stuck at the bodyshop since- 2.5 years to be exact BRP says there isnt a bump steer problem .......
on a different note the year one 69 r/s convertible car - looks like the pace car had it done but this year on HR Power tour the car has adifferent subframe under it - never had a chance to talk to anyone at year one about this- makes you wonder though..... :yes:

I purchased one for a client to install, but after looking at it closely, we pitched it and went with a built 600 box instead. The sway bar mounting was what killed it for me. The mounts made the sway bar lower than the frame and turned it into a road debris catcher!

No comments on feel, we just were not happy with the product or the install of it.
