My car has been dropped only 20mm. I have nothing to compare it to so I have no take (or give) on this.

Well, that's almost 2cm. I don't really notice any bump steer driving other's lowered ones. Do you feel anything?

This was the thread I was talking about with you a couple weeks back. Great read.

Lowered on RCEs. Don't feel anything. Sidenote: installed Perrin Steering Rack lockdown. Amazing little mod. I will be doing most all the little bushing type mods now for a fully "positive" experience. Like a GT3 BRZ haha.

Almost?! By definition that is 2cm.

My car is lowered 2cm in the front aswell. I don't notice any ill effects from bump steer. The whiteline kit might add some steering responce, but that's certainly not lacking either. Are you still on stock springs?

Bumpsteer correction is only 1 part of the Whiteline kit, and probably the less obvious one from the driver's seat. The roll center correction is subtle as well, but the series of plots that RBbugBITme made a while back show that the front end geometry could use some help when lowered. It's still a little difficult to "feel" on this platform especially with firmer springs.

On an EVO with lowering springs it was pretty easily felt.

I'm thinking first I should spend the money on a lap timer so I can tell the difference if I ever get good enough.
