What do you think of this Bump Steer kit
Any thoughts. Seems to be very similar to the standard set-up, but quite a bit cheaper. Any thoughts ...It's about $150 cheaper than the standard set-up.

Our SC is lowered to Euro specs, and we've never had an issue with bump steer. And we use 15" x 7 on the front and 15" x 8 on the rear, so it's even lower. And it sure does corner!!!!!
We track the car; in fact, most of the mileage is on the track, and on the roads getting to where we run what we brung. Bump streer, in our experience, is a non-issue. It might be one of those "the theory says you should correct for bump steer, but the facts say otherwise". Again, just our experience.

Search this forum to see what happens when the wrong bolt that is incorrectly installed and overtightened is capable of. At least these were some of the theory's offered.
I'm not certain I would purchase these used and sight unseen. The safer route, and proper route, is to go with raised spindles.

I followed that thread. Not sure what happened. These units are new not used. Also raised spindles will get you a greater range of travel once lowered, but I don't think it helps the steering geometry.

It's probably $150 cheaper because the markup isn't as high as some of the other retailers out there. These parts aren't rocket science ...
Beware ... lower-cost heim joint could be used though. Dart Auto seems like an upstanding company (I have used them before) so I doubt they would put out something questionable. I think they even frequent this board, but I can't remember the handle right now.
