I dont think anyone here has, saying that I dont think anyone has their starion as low as your one.
Starions are a disease, the only cure is poverty.

Friends call me Ashgan or Ash... But you can call me failchanic. If there's a routine maintenance job that exists on a starion, then chances are i've failed at it.

First attempt fails include:
-Changing indicator light
-Changing spark plugs
-Changing belts
-Changing airfilter
-Changing oil
-Removing rear strut
-Replacing front strut

My JB is fairly low and has been driven a bit faster than my Nana used to drive her Volvo LOL but I can't say that I have had any problems with BS
I've had mine since 03 07 92

Don't know if it's the way my suspension is set up with poly bushes everywhere as well as an ally bush in the rear x member for more accurate location of the suspension components But I don't seem to have probs in that area

I have MK1 RCA's, 21mm. Anything bigger causes the tie rod end to contact the inner wheel on 7x16 +18.

ECI-Turbo (guy who owns the replica? 4wd rally starion) in Japan used to sell some 30mm units, but I haven't checked his site lately.

Even before the RCA's at near maximum lowering on stock struts, I did not experience bump steer.
