Default Any Experience With ABS Power Brake Inc???

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this company. Customer service, product support, parts quality, etc? They appear to offer a wide range of stuff, although navigating their catalogue/price sheet is a bit of a pain.
Thanks to All,
Gene

I realize that the original question was a little vague but... This is what I was really curious about:
http://abspowerbrake.com/maincatalog_frameset043.html
It's actually on page 82 even though the linked page says 80. I have been looking for years for a good solution for power steering without the pitfalls of rack and pinion (clearance, price, etc.) or the terrible inadequacies of the original style. Has anyone ever seen this setup in use? And if so, how well does it work/fit?
Thanks
Gene

Default Integral P/S huh?

No personal experience, but I understand it's a remanufactured import box with an adaptor to mate it to the frame. Interesting idea, but I'm not sure how well it's executed. I believe that the kit costs around $1000, but don't quote me on that.

Borgeson has just released a similar setup. Theirs has been machined to bolt up without an adaptor. I think it costs around $1000 for everything also. I would trust Borgeson more than ABS myself, just my opinion.

If you decide to go with one of these kits please post your experiences here.

Kenny B,
Thanks for the heads up on Borgesen. Better price, more reputable name, great info. If it will clear my headers, it looks like the way to go!
Thanks Again,
Gene

You're welcome Gene. I remember seeing something about the Borgeson setup on another forum. I'll see if I can find it and let you know.
