    V1 would be fine with me. Wouldn't mind having another set as a spare or for another Z project.

    not sure what the differences between v1 and v2 i guess i just want something that works so whichever is cheaper since i need 2 sets unless they are close in price and one is leaps and bounds better.

    Count me in for a V1, I really doubt people will want to spend $300+ for a V2 when a V1 can be had for 1/3 the price (unless the prices for either versions have changed since I last checked)

    n00b here, not sure why these are needed. i read the linked topic and if my understanding is correct, its so you can get the correct or desired alignment and not tear up as many steering components. am i in the ballpark? really need this barney style lol

    I spoke with the powers that be and I will be doing a v1 run to get people by for now.

    When lowering a Z31 more than ~1" (Or any car, really…), you cause the control arms and tie rods to start to be angled upward more, as well as cause them to not necessarily be at the same angle throughout suspension travel. If the angle of the tie rod and the control arm doesn't match, when the suspension travels (moves), the tie rod will move at a different rate and angle than the control arm which causes bump steer. Bump steer is when the car steers when hitting a bump…

    A bump steer spacer moves the control arms and tie rods angle downward to return them as close as possible to OE specs, fixing suspension geometry. Once geometry is fixed, the tie rods and control arms will move together at the same angle and rate again, preventing bump steer.

    See the pic I posted last page, then compare that to what your control arms look like with your car on the ground. Now imagine what kind of angle that arm will be at once the car gets lowered another inch.
