Better yet here is an explanation of what bumpsteer is so you understand what it is and why you may need it:

If the tierod on your car isn't aligned with the lower control arm what will happen is on either bump or droop the front tires will either toe-in or toe-out excessively making the car seem "twitchy" and unstable. If you're driving it normally then it isn't so noticeable since it's happening at a speed that is manageable.

When you are going fast all of this takes place at a much faster rate which makes the car harder to control and feel more unstable.

As BraMas said, the kit just re-aligns your tie rod so that it minimizes the effect.

At least that is how I understand it......
