Sorry if this is a repost but I've been looking and can't seem to find anything on the GP Sports Super Angle kit of the Supernow kit, are these still avaliable anywhere? If so, where? I can't get secret element to reply.

dont buy gp sports, buy the ones from secret machine, he is on this forum and all the rest of the rx7 forums under the name eyecandy. he sells a set from supernow! the sets themselves i have never heard any complaints about them, same with eyecandy. great customer service and makes sure that the one that you buy is the one that you will like.



i am going to buy the spacer and bump steer adjuster from him in 4 days.

What exactly is bump steer? I never quite figured that out.

simply put; when you lower your car the tie rods are now angled upward (they look somethign like this /), instead of straight (like this --). they are straight when the car is at stock height.



when you are making a turn and your car hits a bump, or hole, on the road your car would have a greater tendency to steer itself in a random location (usually farther in the direction that you are turning). thus when you hit a "bump" your car's "steer"ing changes. when you install bump steer eliminators it lowers the tie rod end level with the steerning rack. turning a ? tie rod into a -- tie rod.

Cool, makes perfect sense, now I know what it means when I'd read about people flipping them to the bottom.
