What manual rack kit to buy? Hey guys, I've decided to put a manual rack kit in my car. What kit do you reccomend. So far I've looked at the bmr one, burkhart, and madman kit. Are there any others? I've read that madman has a bolt in kit but then I read the instructions and you needed to weld a tab onto k memeber? I don't want to do any welding to do the swap.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

the burkhart is a nice solution for a true bolt in but its heavier because it has some tubular structure thats attached to the steering rack
the madman kit is really easy to install. one tab that only takes a few minutes to weld to the kmember.

It's actually both options you're talking about. It also frees up some room under the hood. The steering shaft we use (included in the cost of the manual rack) also gives you a bit more room for your headers. Total weight savings is around 19lbs.

I dont have a manual rack but bought a used K-member that had the tab, simple weld job it probly was but i removed it and smoothed it out cant tell was even there. I would say dont let that one part scare you a way from a Great product.
