[QUOTE="ReplicaR, post: 908705, member: 9209"] I don't understand how you guys just buy parts, throw them on there because someone said that it's the right thing to do, and then expect it to work? Do you install camber caster plates, and then eye ball it and say good enough? How about change something internal in the engine, and then say, ehh fuck it, it runs, that's good enough for me? It's a precision suspension tuning device, and you guys are treating it like a bolt on. If you are going to install a bumpsteer kit, you have use bumpsteer gauge to dial it in. That whole parallel to control arm myth is not cutting it. I've actually used a bumpsteer gauge when I installed my kit. Guess what? Not parallel. And guess what else? Both sides were different, required a different amount of shims. If you are not going to do something right, might as well no do it at all. I understand that some have altered front end geometry (Onyx with his X2s), but if everything is just stock, and the car is lowered, I'm pretty sure that you are not gaining anything at all, and all you are doing is throwing money in the wind, while using placebo effect to convince yourself that car became better.
