As the title says I just installed my front suspension consisting of Baer Trac bumpsteer kit, Eibach Pro springs all around, KYB-AGX shocks all around and BMR tubular upper & lower A-arms and WOW what a difference it made to the ride/handling/tightness of the car.
My SS already had SLP weld in sfc's BMR lca's and relocation brackets and Suspension Technics 35/25 mm swaybars but the front suspension was very sloppy, wandered alot but not anymore.
All I need now is a Moser 9", a Spohn torque arm and the Z06 front brake upgrade and I'll be done.

 

I've got a similiar setup but opted for a smaller rear swap bar (21mm). I'd suggest you chat with Sam Strano at Stranoparts.com Very knowledgable guy with a few titles under his belt; he can help you fine tune your setup.

 

Ok thanks I will do that.

 

So how did you adjust the bumpsteer kit? How much bumpsteer was in the car before and after the kit? I'm curious, I've never heard of someone doing it...

LPEDave I had the alignment shop do it, if you look at a stock non lowered fbody the tierods are parallel to the ground but once you lower the car the tierods are pointing upward ( no longer parallel ) so it causes the tierods to travel a different arc than the spindles as the suspension moves thru it's travel. This causes the car to pull and drive funny as you go over bumps, but by using the adjustable tierods you can correct the suspension geometry.

 

Thanks, I'm familiar with what bump steer is, I'm just curious as to how much deflection in toe you had before, and how much you now have with the kit. To my knowledge you have to measure that to do the adjustments to setup the kit.
