I doubt they'd put a weaker 'box behind the later, presumably more powerful SR20DET,
but that's just a guess.
To visualise bumpsteer, think of just one front wheel moving up and down while
the car's at rest. Ideally ( and in a stocker ) the wheel moves up and down,
but always points in the straight-ahead position. That is, there is no change
in the steering angle as the wheel moves up and down.
When you lower the car, you change all the angles the suspension pieces meet
at and the way they sit at rest. Unless you make changes to deliberately correct
bumpsteer you'll find the wheel no longer points straight-ahead as it goes up
and down, but actually 'steers' during a bump - hence "bumpsteer". It feels
like you have to 'fight' the car through rough turns.
If you're interested in how to correct it, email me offlist, as everyone's probably
bored with my rantings on the subject by now :)
