I have the Steeda kit now and it has failed after only 4,000 miles. Unless they cover the kit under warranty ( i doubt it ) I need to find another kit. I have several other Steeda parts that are working great, and this is no slam to them in general. I just can't see purchasing another part that might fail prematurely . I am looking at the Maximum Motorsports and the Baer Tracker kit. Does anyone have any real world feedback they can offer??

 

I am also running a Steeda bumpsteer kit and was wondering how your failed,.i.e. what broke?

Mine has over 6,000 miles on it including 5 track days and so far so good from what I can see.

 

We offer a very good bumpsteer kit. We haven't had any issues with the kit what so ever. I will post a link to our site. If you have any questions please give me a call.

Are these its even needed on the S197 chassis? I know this was an issue in the Fox and SN95 years but I didnt think it was on the new chassis.

 

Yes, Id like to know what failed. That could be very dangerous.

 

ANY time you F with the geometry (read - lower the car) you need to bumpsteer it.

I think I have Maximum's kit - or whoever it is they sell. Over 40 days on track and no issues.


F**K Steeda.

 

The right side tire will move about 1/4" each way ( toe ) when grabbed at 9 and 3 o'clock. The left tire has zero movement. I had it in the shop this weekend replacing the 4.10's with 3.55's and was looked at the right front for a vibration/clacking. The mechanic said it was the bumpsteer kit. I'll know more when I get it apart.

 

Thanks for the update. Please provide further details after dissection.

 

Did you have an opinion on Steeda then?

 

Yeah, I dont think Steeda would be where they are today if everyone said F**K Steeda.
