Bumpsteer Kit
 

Hey guys, i am looking for a bumpsteer kit for the RX8 and cant seem to find a kti anywhere. Do you guys know of a company that is making/selling one or will a kit for the FD work on the RX8?

What exactly is a "bump steer kit" .......the double A-arm suspension isn't a bump steer problem unless you have done something stupid with the suspension

The only person i know that offers a bumpsteer kit is ls1rx8.com

That something stupid is putting an LSx in the car and moving the steering rack down to clear the oil pan.


I have talked to him and he does not currently make them. I was told he got his kit form hinson. However, i have not had the best luck with hinson as far as communication so i was curious if there were other companies that made them.

That will do it :)

If you can fabricate the mounts and all the other stuff for the swap this should be relatively easy.....

This is more of a time thing. I would rather put my time and effort into other aspects if i can pick up a simple off the shelf bump steer kit.

I am currently working on my one bumpsteer kit.

Couldn't say when it will be complete though.

Bump steer kits are finished

Great, we are still looking for one. however, i can not find it on your site. Could you verify its up and going on your site and maybe send me a link? Thnaks

There are only pictures on the main page. Send them an email to get more info ls1rx8swap@aol.com

Hinson sells some that work great

94-04 mustang kits will work. I used one, and did a 5/8" bolt through rather then taper stud.

so why did you use a 5/8 bolt instead of the tapered stud? i too am looking for a kit. Does the mustang stud not fit the spindle? thanks

The stud is a larger diameter than the RX8 one. Possibly could ream out the RX8 knuckle to match the mustang diameter but I did not have a reamer
