Thanks for the replay. I looked up the Longacre bump steer gauge and found a good article and video.

BUMPSTEER ARTICLE (Although this is a front suspension setup they are working with, the steering is locked, so the same theories should apply? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong):

Informative video that would help people understand the use of spacers and the effects it would have on bumpsteer/toe while the suspension travels:

I've got about 4 years of track days and minimal street driving on my AP1 with the Megan Racing bump steer kit. I haven't replaced anything on the kit and they're still rock solid. (I hope I didn't just jinx myself )

You should add Ikeya Formula to your list. I have never read/heard about any failures with them.

Don't think they're that popular amongst the S2K crowd but I'm running these too without any issues.

Direct from Ikeya Formula in Japan. But for the purposes of your list above, you can order them from here;

Dare I ask how much? lol

Looks like the Megan's are quite reliable and best bang for the buck. With some preventative maintenance and correct installation they should be fine.

In your first post, the link for the megan bsk goes to a prelude bsk. Is that the one you have on your car or is it this one?

AP2? Why worried about rear bumpsteer? I'm generally not a fan of replacing oem primary structural components with aftermarket, even less so when there's little to no benefit!

I have a street RBSK from TCDesign - one of the last ones produced with updated parts and 0 miles on it. LMK if you're interested.
