Bump steer is the tendency for the car to steer when going over a bump (as the name implies). Pretty much when it has suspension travel the car will try to steer itself without your input. A bump steer kit is usually for lowered cars to correct the tie rod angle to reduce this bump steer.

bump steer is the change in toe during the suspension travel of your wheel. when you lower the car the toe changes in a way that was not designed for in the car. a bump steer kit returns the toe to the normal travel. note that simply installing a bump steer kit is not proper. you must determine the change in toe and adjust the bump steer kit accordingly. that said most people get away with simply installing it.

The CR suspension is a little stiffer than stock. It was designed to make track times a little faster. It makes for a rougher ride but slightly better cornering. I daily mine and it doesn't bother me too much. Here are the prices that I found back when I did my conversion: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/629909-cr-conversion/

Both a waste of money. FYI I run eibach springs with stock struts(156k miles) and a tanabee front sway bar. I have won several autoX events with this simple set up. The two advantages to the CR are the 140 treadware tires it comes with which makes a huge difference and at high speeds the rear wing along with the front bumper provide downforce. 140 treadware tires can knock a full second off of your autocross times over standard street tires
