Right now, fender lip height, front and rear, is about 24 3/4. I may raise the front slightly, 1/4 inch, to get the 1 degree rake.

I believe bump steer is a height issue, doesn't matter what suspension components are used. It can be addressed though.

Nice, if you get serious about the suspension make sure you get the Bilsteins re-valved to your springs, and your springs set-up to your driving demise and don't forget the sways and lightening the car.....

I was able to get out and drive the car this morning. The car handles very well, better than before I think, but I was actually happy with how it handled before. The ride is firm but not harsh. I did not notice bump steer during the drive, I intentionally looked for bumps and dips. Over all, very happy with the setup.

Your ride height looks almost exactly the same as mine. My car's rear end may be just a smidge higher.

I have had no bump steer since I had mine done last spring - can't wait to take her out of hibernation again, sometime in March.

Have fun!
