You may want to go to the technical section of the forum where they discuss the differences between the stock alignment and the UK alignment. My understanding is that the UK alignment is a little more aggressive on turn-in and might be a little more neutral, as opposed to the more understeer-prone stock alignment settings.

bad bump steering can also come frm suspension mod. if you are lowered then i suggest bump steer plates. ask gus for more info. we had plenty of fun installing those.

installation steps look so simple yet it was hard. longer bolts from the kit was B%^CH to put in.

My mind is just boggled how a little bolt and plate correct bumpsteer. Lots of Q's:
How long did it take to do? What kind of tools do you need? Did you do both rear and fronts or just rear? What bumpsteer kit did you go with; how do you like it?

My bumpsteer is really starting to annoy me. I was shitting bricks when I was on 410 by Northstar mall where they stripped the freeway up. Uneven pavement like a mother and I felt like I was slidding on ice...scary!
