I had one in my car for about 6 months. I had the same issues with the track width being wider than stock as well as the ride height. I was not happy with the K-frame.

Yeah those tires are way out there.. also the knuckle on the rack looks to be at the end of its travel(angle) right now... that thing does have some issues.. plus the tie rod is either bent or its just a piece of tube just to mock up the tie rod

Its bent:-(
What a mess , it looks like the lower A arm is also bent ?
It appears to me that the rack should have been set up either up higher so the tirod passed above it , but then on full suspenison compression it would have hit the rack , or been a lot further forward ... or BOTH ????
What a poor design .

A arms are like that from mf. If i could lower the r&p it would clear. But it would need to be a fair amount witch is not possible without redoing the k member. Looks like if i switch sides on a arms and turn them upside down it would clear the steering. But i would need to weld in new shock mounts and realign the lower balljoint. I feel like maybe its not worth messing with a crappy piece like this. Maybe if i get it running welds starts to break...

There's something not right for sure. I have a mf and don't have any of the issues your clearly having. I'm at work at the moment but I'll have more of a look when I get off. Here's pic of mine

Definitely something wrong there. My M/F frontend doesn`t look anything like that. And mine is 10 years old. Somebody`s been modifyin`. Think I`d pull that one out!
