lowered car handling question...

[kingcobracustom]

this bump steer... I understand you can get a bumpsteer kit ( rod ends ,longer bolts and spacers) and offset rack bushings.... wich is better? pro's/cons of each... and what did saleen do to solve it on his cars? my car has eibach sportlines btw.

 

[kingcobracustom]

nobody knows anything about this? hmm...

 

[chaos254]

how much is your car lowered? do you have caster/camber plates? Also your not going to want offset rack bushings.

Taken from Maximum Motorsports website:
"We don't recommend offset rack bushings for stock K-Members...

Offset steering rack bushings move the rack far too much on stock K-Members, and make an acceptible situation far worse than if you had done nothing at all."

well they are eibach sportlines... I'd say about 2 inches. those offset bushings don't appear to be able too offset the rack more than 2 inches... just doesn't seem possible. anyone have them on their car?

it would help if you posted a TECH question in the TECH forum, not the TALK sub-forum

Sadly, this forum gets like next to zero for traffic, but it is posted in Talk and not Tech.

Yes, you will want caster camber plates, unless you like to buy tires. I HIGHLY recommend getting a bumpsteer kit. It does make a world of difference and if you saw the difference in the tie rod angles before and after, you would do it without question. Stock Saleens didn't see a terrible amount in drop height, but I can garuntee work was done in the bumpsteer dept.



Also, I would recommend a decent adjustable shock. In all honesty, will all the tricks it'll be really fun to drive, and handle 'decent' from a roadcourse/opentrack standpoint. You will need to go to a tubular K member with the different pickup points to really get the car to run with vettes etc.


cliffs- buy CC plates and a bumpsteer kit

Did seem like he over-reacted a bit. Maybe he should join Corner-Carvers. They seemed to like helping people out, the one time I visited.
