I have heard (anecdotally) that it is to ensure your existing rack doesn't get rebuilt down the line. I don't know if there's any truth to that.Originally Posted by vwdmc16

That's interesting, is the rack from the Escort/Capri a crossover to ours?

Your google skills are awesome my friend. I thought I was good. I ended up spending about 110 on my "kit" but i'm still pretty satisfied at the results...I wish you would've posted 3 weeks earlier though, haha!
