I agree that bumpsteer is probably not a problem. But you could check what it is currently to determine if it's an issue before you buy a correction kit.Watch the video in this post and the one following...-
Find some sort of spacer to put in there so it doesn't move as much down?I don't mean it disrectfully at all, so please don't take it that way - you seem to be doing a lot of guessing and a lot of extra work to ignore the problem staring us in...

Yeah, bumpsteer is inconsistent toe change under compression and droop. E.g. if you are in a turn and hit a bump, the car steers without you moving the wheel. Ackerman could be an issue here, but that's not exactly adjustable. A bumpsteer kit...

(see full post)- stevbd replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.That GC coilover kit looks really nice but now at $2400 you’re within shouting distance of the entry level Cortex kit, which has the true outboard rear coilover setup. I’m a fan of that. Rear damper adjustment is a hassle on the Cortex kit however. (see full post)

Zellion_GT replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.He autocrosses his own s650. So I imagine he’s probably done the same thing to his own studs and he’s fine on track. Still gonna inspect them tomorrow. But my other friend who helped take off my wheels is saying just north of 150 is probably... (see full post)

Like.Not for everyone, but this is what I have done in the past ( before trans pan change ) and now. Past, changed it about once every year or 6 track days. Since I installed a PPE trans pan I changed the fluid only after track day. Over the years I... -

The GC hybrid coil over set with GT350 Stock DSC and dampers shaved 3 seconds off my time. I was on FP springs and different aero before I installed the GC set up.I would not use a DSC controller with that set up unless you want to program it...
