I'm looking at installing the Eibach Sportlines what steps should I take to solve the bump steer problem I will develop after doing so? Will I need a different pitman arm and idler arm or will the baer adjustable outter tie rod ends do the job?

 

The adjustable outer tie-rod ends should do the trick.

 

Have you actually used these adjustable outter tie rods or are you making a wild guess here?? I'm looking for actual knowledge on the matter from people who have had experience dealing with the problem

 

I'd like to know the answer for this one too. I have the same springs.

 

Well, I have used this type of device since about.....1989.....

They work very well. Just pay attention to the quality of the rod end itself. Baer uses quality parts, as most of the cars they build parts for they have raced competitively. Which would build my confidence in a product that I didnt know much about. But they do work quite well.

I would recommend that you find a 'Seals-it' dealer to buy the rodend seals to keep out the dirt and elements though.

-edit-

Just to let you know, I used to work for Dick Guldstrand, Roger Penske, PPI and have built cars for John Lingenfelter, Reeves Callaway and Doug Rippie. So my experience should give you the impression of dealing with all the parts you have now and havent purchased yet.

 

A good set of roadrace struts will help also. Any time you add a stiffer spring you should marry that with a higher dampening shock to counter act the greater force of the spring. Stock shocks still used in combination with stiffer springs can bounce you all over the road. Dong,Dong,Dong.......I'm sure you've seen a car do that. Its fun to watch.

Oh yeah, I also know Dick Guldstrand and solo raced in the GRA Chacane, I bet we know eachother by face, Hell we've probably talked in person several times.

 

Good posibility!!! When were you cone killing with GRA?

 

Mainly about 7-10 years ago, We have the "Killer '68 vette" Its light blue. I stopped doing it because it just got boring sometimes and took up to much time from my then new family addition. My father an one of my older brothers(I have 5) are usually over at guldstrands at least everyother month or so. My father has known Dick for 40+ years. Matter of fact here a pic (from '94-notice reg. tag on lic. plate):

 

Ya know, we probally have shared each others company.....
