Ok, For all those complaining about the cost. Do any of you (with exception to TOdd/EOE) have any idea what the liability factor is in redesigning a steering system. All it takes is 1 failure and death, to shut them down. Heck, it doesn't even require a death, just a lawsuit happy lawyer could tie them up in court battles and drain them of all their money. This goes for SLR, Calmini, AC, and EOE. These aren't big multi-million dollar companies that I know of. Calmini and SLr are probably the largest dollar wise, but they have other outlets to make money.

While I agree, the price sounds expensive at first, but look at the posts which show the costs of OEM systems. Also, look at how many D-Rat has gone through. He is not the only one going through CL's like hot cakes. Also, look at all you who have bought the "upgraded" Moog Idler Arm for $80 just to have it fail on the first trip. Yes, there have been more than 1. Just add up what you have already spent in replacement costs, It may be very close to the price of their setup.

Now, I'm not saying that it will work or be a true fix, because I haven't tested it myself. But I can say I like the design. Very simple. Also I spoke with SPencer earlier and he told me that there are 4 wear points. All 4 can be replaced for around $80 (the cost of a new Idler arm). Also, as a start, you don't have to buy the Tie-Rods. You can reuse your stock ones. Or, you could upgrade later to EOE Adjusters (WHich in my opinion are strong enough with a good CL). Or if you would rather, Upgrade to the SLR Adjusters.

Disclaimer: I don't have any of the products I have been speaking of, not have I Bent/Broken any Tie-Rods or CL's. 90% of this breakage is caused by Driver (imho). Learn how to finesse the vehicle and not beat it and with Stock supsension and Steering you will go a long way down the trail. The stock system is weak, and when I do actually break it, I will look very closely at all the options available. But so far I like what I see here.
