Question about the Spohn Bumpsteer Kit

was wondering if this is something usually only used on drag cars or would it be a good upgrade for my ta? its my daily as well as the occasional autox'er..

just wondering if it'll be a good improvement over my stock sloppy stuff?
is it stable/strong enough for the autox abuse?

Re: Question about the Spohn Bumpsteer Kit

you have to have the cars bump steer checked to see if the relocation is even required in the first place. this is not difficult, but does require removing the springs, assembling the suspension and moving the parts through their applicable range of motion and measuring how much the wheels moves (toe) through its arc. then the bump steer can be adjusted if needed.

the factory parts are far from sloppy, if they are, new parts will help greatly.

bump steer setups like this are commonly used in many applications and strength is really not a issue

And FWIW, with a little homework, you can put a bump steer kit together for about half that price.
