Next...

the bump steer gets the tie rods back in the stock locations or
the front end wanders over the slightest bump, hence the name
'bump steer kit' (google).
Lol getting impatient?


I know what the bumpsteer does.

Um, my Steeda catalog on my coffee table?
Ping, link, shazzammmm... ???
maybe http://www.steeda.com/products/contr...cation_kit.php would work?

Steeda's control arm relocation kit raises the front roll center of the vehicle, which becomes lower as a result of lowering the vehicle with lowering springs.

Raising the roll center eliminates the issues associated with the lower roll center, making for a great improvement in handling by reducing body roll and improving the front tire contact patch without increasing spring rate or roll bar rate.

This kit will raise the front lower control arm inner mounting location by 3/4 of an inch (19mm). Highly recommended for the open track and competition driver looking to maximize handling.

NOTES:

•Relocation kit changes bump steer geometry, Steeda's bump steer kit is highly recommended with this upgrade.
•Welding required for installation.
•When using the G-Trac Brace with the Control arm Relocation kit two 14mm - 2.0 x 100mm long bolts are required for installation.

Appreciate it, I doubt I will get that though. I will get the bump steer, and camber bolts.


Down the road I may do the relocation kit, struts, adjustable panhard... ect.

How bout just getting dropped spindles and be done with it in one big swoop?
No lowering springs, no aftermarket struts, no bump steer kit, no relocated
reverse L mounts.
Its actually cheaper and more correct for the front end geometry...
