you need one for your left wheel and one for your right wheel

97.95 dollar? is it on the link that I gave above? If I click "buy now" then it says 115.67 dollars a piece...

thx about the compliment... I'd love to go a little lower, maybe 5mm-1cm... especially in the front, fenders will be rolled, not sure what I will do with the plastic innerfender though...
and yes, wheels are 18"

Just to clarify, the SPC ball joints don't take care of bumpsteer though, right?

I know that the bumpsteer kits (J's, T1R, Spoon, and Megan make them) will help your car to handle more smoothly on a track as well, simply adjusting the camber w/ a ball joint will not correct the bumpsteer issue, right?

bumpsteer correction is through your tie rod angle relative to the lower control arm

ok, so to handle well I should :

buy 4 ball joints from stc/comptech...

buy a anti bumpsteer kit for the front axle (2 spacers with 4 bolts)
buy a anti bumpsteerkit for the back axle (2 bars like megan/j's/....)

Calculating everything together I'm roughly a 1000dollars lighter... bloody hell!

That is only half an answer -- and I know that part. My question is that since that bushing will go in between the two bushings on the control arm (if I am reading the diagram correctly), will it space it out correctly and compensate for the bump steer?

I ask b/c the Spoon rear bumpsteer kit (which is like $700) looks 90% the same as the SPC or Comptech kits I see, but it is specifically called a bumpsteer kit?

I'm still having problems with the fact that I can't install my standard 16" wheels during winter with the camber correction kit.

Does anybody know of a camber correction kit for the rear axle where you still can mount the oem 16" wheels?
Does Comptech allow this? Any others?

I thought the rear anti-bumpsteer kit was used to correct camber as well, is it not? On Aj's website, this is what's stated for T1R's anti-bumpsteer kit:

The T1R anti-bumpsteer kits replaces the the rear toe rod of the S2000. By replacing it, it solves two of the most common problem of the S2000 rear suspension: It reduces and nearly eliminates potentially dangerous bumpsteer in cars lowered up to 2.5-3 inches. It also allows independent adjustment of rear toe, camber and the rod leveling. The T1R anti-bumpsteer kit is made out of A6061 forged aluminum with high tension spherical bearing for quality assurance.
I'm confused as well as I would like to run UK alignment specs when lowered.
