Well,

I am going to get the new bushings on my car today. Delrin everywhere except for the front where spherical bearing bushings will be used so that movement is still present for the front suspension. In addition to this, I will be having koni shocks with ground control coilovers put on with 500 pd front and 440 rear and I was wondering if you guys think I should do the bump steer fix right away. I am guessing that since the spring rates are even stiffer, that the rear will be even more susceptable to bumpsteer. Just weighing in opinions here.

If you are not restricted from doing a bump steer kit I would do it.
thats just me and if the car is street driven do NOT do the race one

Yeah it is an AP1. I guess I was thinking the whole ( The stiffer the car is the worse it would jump (bump) in the rear causing the bumpsteer. Although this is true (it is not the actual bumpsteer that I was referring to so I guess your example makes perfect sense. Yeah the springs are not the siffest I could go, but since I drive on the street sometime I had to get something that wasnt crazy stiff. I think this is going to be pretty stiff as it is. This rate was also the suggested rate for road racing and autocross from Eibach for the S. ????

Sorry, I'm an engineer. When I say infinetly stiff, I mean theoretically replacing your shocks and springs with a solid bar. No real life suspension is infinitely stiff, so they will all be subject to bump steer if you don't get the kit.

Makes sense

I think the real terminology that should be used is deflection.

Borbor

actually if you're talking about bushings, I believe the proper term is hysteresis when talking about the deflection that occurs from external forces applied to the bushings.

I had that once. The doctor gave me some cream and it cleared up in about a week.

i think that's when the uterus wonders in search of a lost child.
