I've never used the CP adaptors, but overall their quality is good. I have the Strut bar, brake kit, R&P steering kit, and a few other peices of work, and can only say I've had no reason to complain.
I was going to buy spacers from www.wheeladaper.com, but don't need them anymore. I would still reccomend "Fearless" Fred unconditionally tho

I love'em, but they're really busy right now, so if you're in a rush, make sure you let them know.
Chris is the boss there, and he's pretty helpful...

My steering is A MESS. I'm thinking of getting their rack/pinion kit...? Besides their slow send on parts, I've also heard that everyone eventually receives their order if they're patient or am I wrong...?? Anything else I should be aware of before dropping $600..???
Thanks...
Thanks...

The biggest complaint I can make about the kit is that it retains the stock turning radius, lock-to-lock. Other than that, there is no slop/play in the wheel AT ALL, and MUCH bette feedback from the road. You can take corners with confidence that the wheels will point whee you want them to.
