Default Steeroids vs Rack Attack

The title says it all. Looking for comments on the advantages of one system over the other. Not looking to engineer & fab something from scratch myself right now.

Thanks,

Bob

From what I've seen, they are pretty identical. Rack Attack tried a slip yoke design on the steering linkage but must of had problems with it as it is no longer offered.

I installed the Rack Attack recently and it is a virtual clone of the Steeroids set-up, minus the adjustable tie rod ends.

The brackets are nicely reinforced, similar to the "gen2-upgraded" Steeroids brackets that I have seen in pics from forum members.

Pricing is slightly better for the Rack Attack it would seem. One issue is the lack of install instructions from VBP for the Rack Attack system. Im not specifically sure why this is, but usually it would revolve around money.

I agree with all the above. I have one installed as well but I can say it was very irritating to watch the install DVD that came with it in lieu of a hard set of instructions. I just found a online copy of steeroids install to suffice.
