bump steer kit really worth it?
Hey guys just wanted to see if you think the bumpsteer kit is worth it. My control arms are almost parallel with my outer tie rods after lowering the car, so im not sure if im going to be getting one unless its really beneficial, the only time i have received bump steer is when one tire hits a bump and not the other. let me know what you think.

In a nutshell. Your toe setting should remain the same throughout the entire travel of the front suspension. Full compression to full extension. When you lower the car with springs. You slightly alter the geometry and the car might toe in or out during suspension travel.
In reality, even when you are driving it hard, like full on corner, during a road course event. Your travel is probably 2". Not enough to drastically change the toe even if there was a bumpsteer problem.
Without a stop watch and a road course or scientifically analizing the front suspension during full cornering. I'd doubt that 1% of us here could tell the difference.
I'm not saying none of us need a kit to correct the geometry but you will not need or feel it for driving down the road, drag racing, cruising or daily driving. Even a regular alignment machine would not recognize the presense of a kit.
