The AP2 fixed the rear bumpsteer issue, while still maintaining enough rear roll stiffness bias to be fairly neutral at the limit, but even that is too much for many drivers who've been brought up driving cars designed to resolutely understeer at the limit.

So, win the bump toe change in the rear. Is there a way to change that? So that there is no toe change in the rear with bump?
I'M guessing that simply changing to coil overs is not gonna do the trick right?

Also, if part swapping is in your budget, as CKit suggested:
As a general note: with stiffer springs and more rear rebound damping, forward weight transfer under lift can be drastically reduced.

Even with the stock suspension, once you get used to the sort of nonlinear handling of the car (initial oversteer followed by neutrality), it's not so bad, really.

So can we retrofit the AP2 rear end?
There are "bump-steer" kits for the AP1 that replace the toe arms, but some of these have suffered failures in use. I'm a big fan of keeping primary structural components OEM...

My AP1 was pretty much a "track car." This is the Toe alignment setting that I settled on after about 2 years of testing.
Front
Toe -0.03 in /-0.04 in
Total Toe -0.07 in
Rear
Toe 0.09 in /0.10 in
Total Toe 0.19 in
It will take several hundred miles on the street or highway to screw up your tires but they will be screwed up.

[QUOTE=clag,Jan 19 2010, 12:26 AM]With a dedicated AP1 track car I imagine you could dial in a healthy measure of toe-in, then even with decompression of the rear under braking/throttle-lift you would not be faced with a truckload of toe-out.

[QUOTE=ZDan,Jan 19 2010, 05:24 AM] Forward weight transfer under lift is going to be exactly the same under a given rate of deceleration, regardless of what spring and damping rates are.
