Those Tracking a C4 Need These!!
I did my first event of the year this weekend at Gingerman with Spectator-Racing. IT was a great event and gave me a chance to try out my new rear end kit from Banski Motorsports. I have the full kit on my car and it makes a huge difference!! I was running on older tires that had trouble sticking, but regardless the car felt much better! It is more neutral in a drift and tire wear was noticably more even across the tire. This kit was less expensive than the VB&P or Guldstrand kits and looks to be well engineered and install was a breeze. The kit is easy to adjust and looks cool on the car, which is a plus. You cannot beat it for the price. Forum member astock165 sells them and if you did not catch his thread before click on his name in my sig or up above and check it out. It will be one of the best investments you make for your racecar, guaranteed!
I just wanted to share how pleased I am with the product! Good job Tom!

Does the rear toe rod allow a height adjustment for bump steer?

Im not sure I understand your question. How can the bump steer be adjusted? If these mount in the same location as the stock toe rods I would say the bump steer remains the same.

the index change in SSM and the cubic dollars needed to run SSM made BSP a better choice. the SCCA doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense, does it....

I have had other say the same thing about not wanting the bump so I understand.

It allows for some. Typically we sell it with the tapered spacer and nut. That configuration leaves you only 3/16" of stud left and only allows you to move "up" to adjust bump steer.
You can gain a little more "up" if you don't run the spacer (the spacer is 1/4" thick) and or a thinner nut. However it still only allows "up" adjustment. Both those cases require a shim under the rod end as well.
I wasn't going to say anything yet but since we're having the discussion: we are working on a bump steer solution for both the front and back that we hope will be really trick. We are shooting for something that will allow for fine tuning the bump steer without the need for shims and will allow the ball of the rod end to reach almost all the way down to the knuckle to maximize the adjustment range.
We're not far along yet but I hope to have something to show you guys shortly.

Excellent news!
Does the rear toe rod only need to move downward some at the knuckle for a lowered car?
