bump steering
#11
I have had this discussion with a couple of the techs at MM...
They both SWEAR that there is NO BENEFIT from a bumpsteer kit if you have not relocated any of the mounting points for your suspension!!!
They say that simply lowering the car with lowering springs will NOT create a bumpsteer issue because it still has the factory geometry, however you are simply riding at a more compressed position of suspension travel. A simple alignment will address that issue.
These guys know their suspensions, so I believe them and have not installed a bumpsteer kit myself.
What does JAZZER think about this??? Please chime in.

I think this "bumpsteer" has alot to do with these kids running extremely hard spring rates on the streets, with struts that are not suited for those kind of spring rates.
I have no bumpsteer, and I am SLAMMED. I have coilovers, with soft springs (175lb) springs in the front, and lakewood 90/10's.
