I feel there would be benefit. I have felt the bump steer from track bumpers before. It feels just weird, the rear of the car just floats/oversteers, I dont like it. If the megan toe arms would fix it, Im definitely buying them before April.

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!
What's your static rear toe? Excessive rear toe can give a quite a bit of squirreliness over uneven pavement/bumps even if there's minimal toe change with bump.

My last alignment I did, I went with 1/8" total rear toe. I thought it was a good number and would use it again.

I still wouldn't fixate on toe arms unless you are sure you have a toe change with bump issue, *AND* know exactly how/why aftermarket arms would fix it.

I picked up a set of wicked tuning rear toe arms for my ap2. Our local race alignment guy is going to measure the toe curve and dial in the bump steer curve from there. The ap2 still toes-in on bump, and out in rebound. There was a post in here a while ago where someone actually measured the degrees of toe vs distance of suspension compression.

I bought the EVS BSK and am lowered 1.5 inch.
Just trying to confirm what way to configure the spacers. I emailed evassive and they said to install them the way that they came in the packaging....

My T1R rear bumpsteer makes a clicking noise when I apply pressure to the wheel when I turn it left or right while up in the air. I'm thinking it's something in the rod end wearing down. Is this dangerous?? and Where would I seek replacement parts?

I've got through two sets of the rod ends that T1R includes with their BSK. Both sets developed significant play in the bearing surface within several months, so I can't recommend purchasing them unless the rod ends have been swapped out.
I'm using the Wicked Tuning BSK now and I've very happy with them. Instead of using a heim rod end like everyone else, they are using a pillow ball style end. Even after a year of use, the ends are still really firm and have zero play.
It should be noted that my car is daily driven in all weather conditions. No track or garage queen here.

Looks like i'll order a set of Wicked Tunings then!
