Tyler,
I have used the TCP pieces a few of my cars.
I used their complete manual rack, it bolted in very nice and need a few mods to make it great. The taper tie rod adapter piece was not a great design, so I reamed the spindle for a perfect fit 1/2" bolt. A couple other things that needed small mods. I also wish the rack system was lighter and I see some areas for improvement.
I am using the k-strut swivel on my falcon to make the sytem a bolt in. I will be removing that and using a rod end. I have rod ends on all my suspension attach points on that car. I am using the kevlar/teflon lined chromoly rod ends and they are great. I have no issues with street driving or autocross.
The 4-link I did for my 65 mustang uses the g-bar cradle but I did modify every attach point to the chassis. I designed it so that it would bolt in, I am working on an original k-model mustang. the brackets completly sup the frame for excellent structural integrity. I also put in a chassis mounted sway bar and made all my own links using the chormoly rod ends.
I understand where you are coming from. I never buy anything that works out of the box.
