Just curious, anybody here have one of these kits installed on their car?

From what I've read they are probably not going to be quite as effective as the Held set up but we're just talking $120 here. Anybody?

they get the job done - make sure you check the welds of the bracket they bolt to. sometimes they are already fatigue cracked and the extended angle of the bumpstear kit can agravate it

The principle of the RCC kit is ok, but the engineering is poor.

The rod end at the inner pivot of the toe link is a piece and should be replaced with a decent unit.
The extended nature of the stanchion puts a LOT more stress on the factory toe link bracket and can move around a lot with relatively little force.
I have an RCC setup on my Northstar car, but I've never felt it was great. I'm going to try to drill a hole up through the cradle and into the stanchion so that I can bolt it solidly to the cradle instead of just the wimpy toe link bracket. We'll see how that helps.

don't be mistaken either - the held kit has faults of its own including the end links it uses wearing out

Thanks, guys. Good points about the welds Makes sense. Will, I like that idea about making it stronger by getting it on the crade. I'm going to order a set and see what I can do with them.
