ok guys, i need help with my suspension. my car is lowered(see sig). i do not have cc plates. my car is hard to control. if i go over any kind of bump, the car just feels like it turns back and forth real quick. its like the car just follows any little ruts in the road. and also my steering feels like its a little loose. is the looseness caused from the lowering springs?? i took it to ford, and the guy said i need to get cc plates and a bumpsteer kit. he says it will fix the weird turning feeling when i go over bumps or ruts... will getting cc plates and a bumpsteer kit also fix the looseness in my steering?? IF this is what i need to make my car steer like stock again, what is the best bumpsteer kit and cc plates to buy??? i just wish my car would steer like my moms stock gt........ thanks guys!!!!

and the MM Adjustable Tie-Rod Ends

don't know about your 'loose' steering though, that could be caused by other problems

I have a 1-3/4" drop with my H&R SuperSports (it would have been 2" but I put in urethane isolators) and I also put in Bilsteins struts/shocks and MM C/C plates. My car handles really well. I went from a severe understeer to a slight oversteer. No bump steer but doesn't mean I won't still consider it. I can't see it not helping. I also have a decent subframe kit which makes it "ride on rails". The only outside factor are my tires. My Eagle F1s track real nice... some don't.

If you have the $129, go for it... hell, now I may buy some too. My car is more an "auto-cross" than a "1/4" car. Steering is important... I need more projects...
