That is my hope as well.
It really should not be all that expensive.
Someone just has to take the time to do the measuring and figure out where the pivots SHOULD be. (I guess that is me).
It should basically only consist of a steering arm and a bump stud. All bolt-on.
Bump Steer Prototype update:
I finished my measuring of the prototype parts, at many different alignment settings and wheel sizes.
A couple of minor tweaks seemed warranted.
The 2nd generation of the protoype parts are being 3D printed at Van Steel now.
Other Van Steel prototypes:
There is a new rear C3 trailing arm with a C7 wheel bearing, with a much stronger 31 spline drive axle stub also in the works.
This is currently being field tested on an autocross car.
Could this be a reasonable $ solution to our C3 rear axle stub woes?
Both these C3 products are still in the development stage. There is also a C4 IRS part or two.
Exciting times!

That does look really sweet......Im thinking something more along the lines of a DIY kit...buy it one piece at a time so its affordable. But ya, it would like that for sure. I found the 9 inch that is set up for IRS but I would have to make a support similar to ridetechs to mount it up and luckily I have friends with access to shop equipement to help out and probably make one for themselves
