Has anyone installed CPs new R&P kit?

BTW, CP Racing claims "no bumpsteer", what they intend to say is no change to Mazda factory designed bumpsteer. All production cars have bumpsteer to some extent. It's how much and where in the suspension travel it occures is the potential problem. Also, just by lowering a car one changes bumpsteer.

The normal lines from all the wheels should meet at the same point through a turn. It's not the case at very small turn angles.
