Since I had to disconnect the front tie rods, remove the lower control arm bolts and get an alignment, I decided to add the R&P. The only problem I ran into was the need to replace my headers because they wouldn't fit with the rack. I then added FPA headers and a magnaflow exhaust system. Kind of the domino effect. I have the TCP subframe connectors sitting in the garage ready for install. If I can fit the center brace on with my exhaust, I will add it later. TCP said the center brace very likely will interfere with the exhaust system. My front seems pretty stiff with a good 1 piece export export brace. I have heard (from a bb mustang owner) the addition of the bar across the shock towers was a big improvement.
