No problem! I've been doing a little more research, it looks like LSR also makes a bump steer correction kit for the Camaros. I had something popping in my front suspension, and I thought it might have been a worn out tie rod end, which is what got me looking in the first place. The bum steer correction seems like it would make the car behave better, which given how many miles I put on it, would be nice.

I haven't done much to the car recently except corner balance it and drive it. I'm finally starting to figure it out, and I've been in the top 10 in raw times my last three events. I'm going in for another alignment this week, and then hopefully I'll be done with the suspension for a while.
On the aestetic side, I am thinking about cleaning it up and buffing the haze off the quarter panels, putting some rock guards on, removing my stripes, and getting my forgestars powdercoated this shade of bronze:

A few photos from the event yesterday. The competition was pretty good, but it would have been better if my front tires weren't shot. I think we got the course design to work pretty well for everyone, the white C7Z and an NC Miata on Re71s (both well driven) were 0.003 seconds apart. I think I might have finally figured out a suspension issue I've been having all year, it looks like my front suspension is bottoming out or binding up. Now to fix it.
