Dude I don't really think its that easy... Bumpsteer can be a FATAL problem, I would hate for you to do all this work and then have a car that is too dangerous to drive... here are a couple of links as to how scary bumpsteer is and what can be done to measure it..
a company put a 2jz in a rx7 and they had to move the steering rack. they drove it half way down a track and deemed it was too dangerous too drive so now its a 'show' car... here are the links

thanks for the info. when i get to that point i will be sure to post pics to get feedback from everyone... i'm still not entirely sure what i am going to do, but i'm hoping it will be safe to just lower the rack... that is about my only option.

I have been bump steering cars for ten plus years. When you get there let me know. I am going to play around with my rack somemore this year. I will take some pictures.

I have about 35 dollars invested into my bump steer kit, don't spend any money because you have most of the stuff.
