If I am not to mistaken this kit eliminates your factory Power Steering pump being a Manual Rack and Pinion right? My question is for the guys that have these kits from BMR. How is the steering compared to the stock PS? And would you suggest this kit for a car made to handle and not necessarily run in strait lines?
EDIT: And while im here, for any BMR guys who reply to my above question. Does your Weld in SFC for the Hardtops work with T-Top cars as well?

The steering on a car with full size front tires is going to be tough.
As long as the car is moving it's not bad at all but if you are not moving and you attempt to turn the tires you better have eaten your Wheaties that morning....
The manual rack kit in my opinion is good for a more of a strip then street car and it's not at all a good handling mod.
Also either of our subframes boxed or tubular will work with T-top cars

You are correct it eliminates the all of the associated items with the power steering rack.
