I've never run the bell crank steering set-up, it's supposed to increase low speed steering, feel a little more progressive and will be less affected if mud and grime get into the parts.
Having said that my 22 2.0 steering rack is now 18 months old and is still in pretty good shape, I haven't had any issues with it binding up either.
I'm not sure many model shops have the bell cranks in stock and the first batch into the UK came with 3.5mm offset ball cups so they don't fit the kit turnbuckles. You can use the car kit setup but may experience binding on the front shocks on full lock.
If you wanted to install bell cranks as part of the build another option would be to consider the Exotek set-up which is more expensive but made of alloy rather than plastic. I'd try DMS Racing if you were after these.
Depending on where you are in the build you may want to consider a more UK biased shock set-up as you have a full spring set. I know the kit also comes with a selection of pistons, but I can't remember which ones.
If you would like some help on shock set-ups all you need do is ask, but let me know what pistons you have available.
