Appreciate the input. Your feeling is that the SCB766 helped keep it aligned better than just the 010 itself? That’s what I’m leaning toward anyways. Both Steeda and the BMR pieces appear to be quality pieces from 2 great companies.
Yes. With the alignment sleeves it will keep the subframe from moving. When you install the cb010 kit you’ll see the four mounting points and how Ford designed teeth to grip into the sheet metal of the body and the half inch tolerances for the whole subframe to move in any direction. With the alignment kit it will be centered on all four bolt holes providing they’re all square with body during manufacturing.
Both the Steeda and BMR kits are also relatively cheap. Yes, it all adds up - I avoid looking too often at the total I’ve spent modifying my car - but they’re in the “eh just pick one and throw it in” price category. Easier to just do the first time with the CB install than come back to later if you’re bothered by it.
