Is it worth fitting a bump steer reduction kit whilst my suspension is apart having the nitron spherical joints? If yes which one?
I’d go for the OEM Lotus 2-Eleven upper wishbones and steering arms…
Nitron ball joints are good too…
After a previous thread I put up, the consensus was not to bother with the 211 top wishbones, I was looking at the Eliseparts bump steer kit, didn’t know the 211 ones where different.
Yes different geometrically as well as heavy and fecking expensive… But they work a treat.
When I checked my car after installation with these parts the bump steer was perfect at 105/113 ride heights…
Es Motorsport do 211 copy wishbones which are cheaper than the Lotus parts and come powder coated. If Es use them I’m sure they’ll be up to the job.

Cheaper or dearer than the eliseparts kit? Probably heavier?
Pretty sure it’s the elise parts ones I’ve got. I found them useful for camber adjustment (shims)
Eliseparts kit here with steering rack risers.
Do you still need the risers even though you have the kit fitted? Thought you didn’t?
Think I will order the Eliseparts kit as nobody is suggesting anything else.
No risers here ( not a euphemism).
Only thing I needed to do is make a 0.5mm shim to balance out the camber ( their kit came with 1+2mm shims)
All ordered with new bolts for the wishbones and shocks as well 
Decided not to go for ubber good looking suspension refresh as I don’t spend hours looking at the wishbones 
yeah EP arms here too, give you some camber elbow room (why I bought them) and also you can space the joint to compensate bump
I’m not sure what you mean here? Also what camber are most running? Mine basically has no shims currently but I’m not sure what that equates to. As this is certainly not a road car, how much is best to go to?
Also think I might have just spent out on some 46mm 1 way Nitrons Anglesey will be interesting!
So my car had the uprights machined down to give me more camber, but even then I’d run with no shims in. Considering it was getting it’s geo done again I impulse bought some new arms; after some faffing to recenter the rack we had them on, tad more camber (1.4*)
I think the most I could get with the standard ,no machining, set up was 1.5 neg, it was a few years ago so a bit hazy. The EP arms will allow a lot more. I have shims in and run 1.9. I drive it to the track and I think any more than that I’d be following BT open reaches trenches
ok so around 2 degrees negative camber should be fine then
Mate, that sounds about right to me but suggest you consult someone who does it for a living
Calling JDS, how much is too much Negative Camber?
2 is about where you want to be on the front, otherwise you can’t get enough on the rear to make it neutral.
What should I aim for on the back with 2 degrees front, in fact John can you just send me the setup I should aim for LOL
