Default AP1 Bump Steer/Front Camber Kit

Getting things together for next season of track events and am considering bump steer/front camber kits. Looking for some proven items. Have lurked here in the forum for a couple of years so I know that there was some trouble with one of the bump steer kits and will do some searching on my own but opinions are welcome. Not opposed to spending more for quality but don't have $ to throw at parts for bling/jdm names.
Background if it helps:
03, currently maxed rear f/r camber on stock f/r springs/dampers. Small fortune front solid bar on softest "stiff" holes. Stock 03 rear bar. Square 245 RA1 16s. XP10/8 braking. Seats/Roll Bar/Harnesses
TIA
Paul

Are you looking for a front or rear bump steer kit?

^^^ Rear. I wasn't aware there was a front one or have missed any discussion of them. Is the front geometry compromised too?

looks like 2 styles to choose from? spoon style with tall ball joints or the t1r style with adjustable arms. Is one style more advantageous than the other? The t1r style has had problems for some correct?

As far as the rear bump steer kit, the J's racing or meghan seem to be of adequate quality. These adjustable arms should be considered a wear item and replaced after some reasonable interval. What interval? Good question.

It should be noted that there are a number of people who feel the rear bump steer kit is not necessary.

There are several good existing threads on the rear bsk.
