Default Bump steer kit available??

I've already done a search and was wondering where I could get a kit to fix the bump steer I am experiencing on my car. I'm lowered 1" with spoon springs, and I waited a good 4-6 weeks before I got the alignment done. While my car was getting aligned, I told the mechanic that the car felt twitchy over bumps. He told me that since my tie rod ends weren't "flat" w/ the road, and that this could be the reason that I am experiencing the bump steer. He told me that they make these kits for mustangs, but I'm not sure they make them for S2000's.

In addition to the springs, I also have a Whiteline front sway bar and X-brace, but I did not upgrade the rear sway bar....could that be the problem also??

On a positive note, I did feel a difference immediately after the alignment was done, but I guess I'm still not satisfied... Help!!

Let me get this straight: you alterred the suspension without any consideration for the consequences, now you're complaining about the handling? Have you considered undoing your mistake instead of making more changes you don't understand?

Check with King Motorsports ( Mugen ). I think that they had a kit. Your other option is to drop no lower than 15mm. Anything over that amount will degrade the handling.

I don't recall the title of my thread containing anything hinting that I wanted a smartass comment...if you don't have anything informative to say, don't say anything at all

For all the other replies, thank you for your adult responses.
