for drivers who fail to read road conditions/irregularities and make appropriate adjustments

 

Okay im just wondering, because I do have coilovers, and I notice whenever I drive on the freeway, I do drift to the left and right (Not tokyo drifting) Lol. Will getting the bump steer kit, fix my problem or should I get more then a bump steer kit?

 

Unless you are hitting a bump that is causing it to steer, no the bump steer kit won't solve that.

Bump steer kits address the change in toe during the tires travel through it's range of motion. Lowered cars are more susceptible to it because of the change in geometry (see link sent earlier) the kit corrects this so the tire doesn't change in toe, which is what is actually causing the car to steer.

If you haven't had an alignment since lowering the car, start there. Aggressive alignment settings can also lead to the car wandering when driving. When you add camber you affect straight line stability to improve cornering, and the inverse is true... Same goes with toe... less toe harder to drive straight but easy to oversteer in corners, more toe helps keep car staright and car from rotating to much under cornering... that is why the UK alignment is popular, it address an oversteer condition with the car by adding to the rear toe.

 

Sounds like an alignment or tire issue.

 

And for overconfident drivers.
You know the type: they think they can do everything.
Enter a corner way to hot, they get scared halfway and lift the throttle......


And then they blame the car.

Sure.
