Question

If the Power Station Bump steer mod is so good, why does nobody else offer it? I've just had Coordsport set the car up to Whiteline specs, no bumpsteer mod called for.
The car is fully tweeked with ALL the Whiteline/MRT bits plus Powerflex bushes, no rubber anywhere on this car!
Also, anyone used Kumho road tyres on a Scooby?

Did Coordsport actually measure the bumpsteer ?

Many other companies don't do it because either a) they don't know what it is or b) don't know how to fix it or c) can't be bothered.

There is another company who does the bumpsteer mod on Scoobs, but they are in Scotland, and I can't for the life of me remember the name apart from it start with the letter F.

Cheers

Thanks for coming back. Coordsport didn't do it because the White line spec says nothing about it at all! A friend of mine with a killer RA (a fellow hillclimer) has had it done, and his car drives so well...At £100 it is a cheap experiment.I forgot to say I have AVO adjustable struts on the car (not impressed) and the RA has DMS Gold, maybe you get what you pay for?

Falkland !! Cheers MM, I'm crap for remembering names.

Graham,
If you are running a hillclimb car, then I would seriously consider a look at your overall suspension setup. So many gains to be had. OK, may only save you quarter of a second, but on a 30 second climb, that is a lot

Give Rich or Dirk a call at Powerstation as they deal with quite a few hillclimbers and could advise. They are of course local to you (ish).

Cheers

Ian
