I am considering them as well. I had an unknown source say they have seal problems, to me this is totally non confirmed. I would sure like to hear back from others as well.
See my note on the Randall Rack. I was totally discusted with their response and have crossed them off my list.
How about TCI. Seems expensive, are they worth it?

Randall's gave me wonderful customer service so far, and I have no reason to doubt that it will stay that way through my install. Sorry to hear that was not the case for you.
The FR system has been taking a bashing. I have read that bumpsteer is a major issue with that unit and that fitment is tough with most header combos. I have yet to read a single person that has it say that they would do it again.
Others to look at are the TCI, Unisteer, Steeroids. If you want power steering then your best be is going to be Randall's or TCI. I have read good things about both the Steeriods and Unisteer for manual operation.

i also have a randalls r&p and my experience with the company is great.
the product is easy to install and it works.
if i would buy a new one i would consider the TCP r&p because they claim to have a smaller turning radius. that would be very useful in small parking lots like they are common in Switzerland.
and to answer your questions: randalls is based in kelowna, canada.

I believe the others are referring to TCP, not TCI. TCI is a full Mustang II style crossmember upgrade requiring welding and is not just a rack and pinion bolt on solution like Steeroids, Flaming River, Unisteer/Maval, and Randal's...

I have posted about my total control rack before but I just can't help singing my praises again. I absolutely love my total control rack. it was so easy to install. I have the KRC power steering pump with it and that was also easy to install and makes the car so nice to drive. the best upgrade I have ever done.
