Lowering car, looking for bump steer kits.
I found these:
https://www.corvettemods.com/C4-C5-C...t_p_14579.html
and
https://www.corvettemods.com/C5-C6-C...t_p_11576.html
But I didn't want to order them without getting opinions first. There is a bit of a price difference for the front kit between the brand I linked and the LG brand, not sure if that makes for a big quality difference.

My C5 has been lowered for years - alignment stayed spot on, i.e. no bump steer, and no re-alignment even needed. If you slam it, you will need an alignment, after that you are good.
Suspension design is done with CAD (has been for many, many years) so it's not hard to eliminate bump steer over the normal range of suspension movement. When I first started designing suspensions, we did it on the drawing board and it was a long project to get it perfect - so much so, that the "good enough" syndrome would kick in as deadlines loomed.

My vert has been lowered for 9 years all the way on rear bolts and front adjusters taken out. Alignment stayed spot on and no bump steer.
