I'm looking for a rear bump steer kit. I've heard stories of the TC Design model braking, J's Racing has increased in price again.


Does anyone have any experience with the T1R Rear Bump Steer Kit???


Thanks...

The only problems I'm aware of with the TC Design kit stem from people putting race parts on a street car because they think it's cool or they're just dumb and ignore manufacturers recommendations.

I heard the same as well, but my question is, if the J's, Megan, or T1R units don't break, wouldn't that mean that the TC Design is weaker??
Reason I ask is because I know a few people that have been running the J's units on the streets/occasional track for about a year now and only one has had problems with his J's BSK. That is, his heim joint wore out but again, this is after approx a year of use on street and track.

I just installed my TC Design race BSK 3 days ago and will be doing my first track event tomorrow. Although I try not to use this car at all (read: I only drove it once on the street for a few minutes after installing this piece), I hope this thing doesn't give out on the track.

Heim joints wear out. If you don't check them regularly, they wear out and break. Using race car parts on the street is foolish.

Ludedude is right, the helm joints do wear out. I have ran the J's BSK for roughly 1 year daily driven with alot of track time on them and they are finally starting to show signs of fatigue (play in the joints by a few thou. of an inch). That is just the nature of the beast and something you need to accept if you want to run race parts on your street car. However, luckily the helm joints on the j's and t1r kit can be replaced easily and cheaply. I'm not sure if the same applies to TC Designs bsk (race version)?

Yes, the race BSK from TCD uses standard Aurora rod ends.
