sounds like I have to get a set. Do you all have T1R or the Megan Racing? I just want to make sure I spend the extra money for T1R over Megan if the reliability is an issue???

I bought the T1R during a big sale them were having around new year. If I had not gotten such a great deal on them I might have gone with another brand.

I was wondering if anyone had any info on Megan's Front Anti-bumpsteer Kits?

There's the Megan Honda S2000 Tie Rod Ends that claim this:

"The 15mm of bump-steer adjustment allows the tuner to keep the control arm and tie rod at similar
angles to keep a more predictable steering characteristic in this already touchy car."

http://www.meganracing.com/products/produc...d=719&catid=108

Then they also have the Honda S2000 Front Anti-Bump Steer Kit:

"Megan Racing has created these spacers to eliminate some of the front bump steer that is created by
lowering your vehicle."

http://www.meganracing.com/products/produc...=1005&catid=108

Do they need to work together? Or, will the Tie Rod Ends also do the job of the Front Anti-Bump Steer Kit?

Thanks for the help

You only need the tie rod ends or the steering rack spacers, not both.

The tie rod end cost more but I bet they are alot easier to install. It took me about 3 to install my t1r steering rack spacers and can do a diff swap in less than 2 hours.

Do they make tie rod ends and spacers for both the front and rear? I have only seen front spacers and rear tie rod ends (toe adjusters). I would like these as well.

^The only solution for the rear bumpsteer is new arms. For the fronts you have 2 options(both examples are shown in brax 1's post above) tie rod ends or steering rack spacers.

they both return rod angles back to stock using both will overcompensate causing exactly what you are trying to eliminate

Buy one or the other be done

Any of you that have the Megan toe arms experience extra noise, due to the spherical bushings? I'm getting a very harsh noise from the rear end when I drive over uneven roads, for example on the freeway. I can't seem to pinpoint where it's coming from.
