You won't regret the TCP unit... I have the same thing, except for the Loop.

heres a pic of that setup in my 64 1/2 restomod coupe. one of the best bang for the buck things you can do to your car.
I added the rack and coilovers at the same time too though. plan on doing a custom exhaust i had to.

How many peices is that kit and do you just have it bolted to the frame or is it welded?

I think that the best connectors should be homemade, and made out of used railroad tracks welded in the full legnth of the car for additional stability.

Using this method really makes the car feel like ithandles like it ison tracks, very stable.

the subframe connectors are bolted on to hold them on and then they are welded for sturdiness.. the Xframe bolts onto the subframes using shims to make it fit right. you can weld the xframe on but if you ever need to work on your drive shaft or exhaust its much easier.
the driveshaft safety loop is beefy ...the whole thing added a lot of weight but its a good tradeoff. what makes me wonder is how much more would it have cost ford to make the frame rails solid from the front to the back in the first place.

jamison most unibody cars are made the same way no rail in the middle whatever ones you buy have them welded on bolts can loosen up over time. my friend with a fox body learned that the hard way had a bolt fall out lol
