Default Bumpsteer and suspension


I have changed by suspension twice now and Im still not satisfied. I have Eibach Sportlines and Tokico struts and shock. I have steeda bumpsteer kit and Im still experiencing bumpsteer. The Tokicos came off of a bullitt, I didn't know if that Had something to do with the tremendous amount of body roll.

Default RE: Bumpsteer and suspension

I think your problems are a combination of 2 things...

1. Eibach sportlines lower the car more for looks than performance. They have a softer spring rating than most aftermarket springs. They lower so much that sometimes bumpsteer cannot be fully corrected by a bumpsteer kit alone, only helped.

2. Bullitt Shocks/struts are not the best valved tokico's you can buy. They are a GREAT value, no question about it, but I dont think they're up to the task of a 2 inch Sportline drop, or any performance driving. I would go with Bilstein's in the future, if your ride is still not satisfactory.

Body roll itself can also be helped with aftermarket swaybars. The nice thing about swaybars is they do not increase suspension stiffness, just help prevent body roll.

Sincerely,
