Is there another manufacturer of this Anti-Bump Steer Kit?

There is at least one alternative.
J's also has a bump steer kit for the front suspension.

Yes. Different kit, same idea.

J's has a more complete "solution" to all the S2000 suspension issues, but the cost makes me break a sweat. For the money, the Go-Fast kit is by far the bigger bang for the buck.

I say that, but at the same time I'm trying to convince myself NOT to spend the bucks for a full J's setup, front end rear, including the roll-center relocation kit. It's really a VERY nice setup, but DAMN is it ever expensive.

Well, I have personal experience with the TC Designs (Go-Fast Lab) kit -- it survived 15 track days last year as well as a year of daily street driving. I don't know anybody who has experience with the J's kit in terms of durability. (That doesn't mean no one does, it just means *I* don't know anyone who does.)

I've been considering the gfl bsk and the j's as a future modification. Mike, did you notice any difference when you put the gfl bsk on?

Not an immediate day/night "OMG!" difference, no. But the car now feels very planted all the time, and I think it has helped me gain confidence and pick up speed. However, I also changed my alignment specs at the same time as I installed the BSK. And I started using R-compound tires shortly after. So it's hard to separate out what each part of that did -- but the car as a whole is much more predictable now than it used to be.
