I purchased the Koni's because of this bumpsteer issue. When I initially installed them, I firmed up the rears by +3 (out of 8 max) and left the fronts at +1. Took it out for a test drive that day and I noticed a significant improvement, immediately. However, there was still a little bit of residual symptoms of bumpsteer during the test drive (it got a little wobbly on me).

After reading the subsequent posts in this thread, I thought I would try firming the rears a bit more. I turned them up from +3 to +5 and left the fronts alone. Today, I took it out to the twisties and had an awesome drive. This configuration, for me, eliminated the symptoms that used to scare the hell out of me. I highly recommend considering the Koni's ahead of the adjustable control arms.
