Steeda bumpsteer kit install

[CanadaCalvin88]

Afternoon all, just wrapping up an install of steeda's bumpsteer kit. The car is a 2015 Gt lowered 1" on eibach pro kit. I know there is a professional way to measure bumpsteer and adjust accordingly, but I am opting for the eyeball method trying to line up the tie rod to control arm. I feel I have it pretty close, but another opinion is always good. Can anyone chime in? Thanks, Cal

in for info on this as well.. since I am going to be installing the Steeda Bumpsteer Kit on my 15 GT, which is also lowered on an Eibach pro kit in my garage next week.

I just got back from the alignment shop for the second time. First go around, I had too much spacer above the rod end, and it made everything worse. I ended up with most of the spacers on the bottom with one of the medium spacers above the rod end and am really happy with how it handles now. I hope this helps, Cal.

Thanks for the info! Does the tie rod and lateral link look pretty parallel to each other now when the car is sitting on the ground? I got the bumpsteer kit and the front roll center kit which replaces the lateral links with the taller ball joint as well

Ya, no problem. Yes, I got the tie rod pretty close to parallel with the lca by eyeballing it. Where I messed up was I set the height of the tie rod with the suspension at full droop. Should have known better. I wonder what kind of difference in handling there will be between your kit and just the bumpsteer correction that I did? Let me know how it feels after installing.

10-4 I will man, but it prob won't be good info because I am doing A LOT of stuff to this car right now all at once front and rear. I'll let you know though
