    When I bought mine I got the R/C crossmember and motor mounts. But not much else from the kit. I got an aftermarket power rack, so I ordered the power steering pump and hoses to fit it.

    They are nice, but like I said earlier...I really cannot feel the road. The power steering is so powerful that whatever happens at the road...I cannot feel it.

    I think I would go manual if I had the choice from the beginning.

    With the power rack, I really cannot feel anything that the road throws at me. There is no feedback at all. Just wherever I turn the wheel, it goes there. But I cannot feel what the road is trying to show/tell me.

    I have the rc107 kit under mine and i
    have 245/40x17s with 17x8s and 4" of back spacing. I believe I can get as 255 or 265 under it with a wheel that has more backspacing.
