[Mark42]

I spoke to UMI this evening. They said that if the car was not lowered, and using the stock suspension, even though the lower mount does cause over steer it probably would not be noticed unless "you are pushing the car". In other words, driving to work you won't notice it, but keep in mind that hard cornering will be affected. They also said as long as the rest of the suspension is sound, the bracket will eliminate the wheel hop.

So what did we learn?

1) Even though none of the manufacturers mention it on their website, the use of Control Arm Brackets will increase roll steer, and therefore, over steer. For the average driver, this is a bad thing.

2) Calling the manufacturer directly will give you more info than they want to "share" in their sales pitch.

3) Don't just take anyone's word as gospel on what you should do or not do to solve a suspension problem. Many people are just "talking through their hat".

4) Doing complete research will save you the headache and expense of buying parts and installing them without knowing if said parts will actually do what you want.

Regards,

Mark.
