I don't have bumpsteer, but my car is not lowered (well I do have PASM so it's 10mm lower from the factory). I do have the max rear camber as mentioned before. Our local track (I-29, nee RPM, nee MAM) has become very rough and no noticeable bumpsteer. Drove at COTA back in Feb and there are a few bumps there that didn't cause any uneasyness.

I had the dealership do my suspension changes - Tarett monoballs on all 4 corners, GT3 control arms on the front, Tarett toe arms on the rear, and Tarett thrust arm bushings (hockey pucs). Added a race alignment of -2.6 front and -2.0 rear. When the tech came back from his test drive, he stated that that's how Porsche should've set the car up from the factory. I've since added Pedro's rear bar that connects the bottom portion of the suspension and backed the front camber back to -2.3.

I drive my LE from spring to fall and my CSS is my 'winter beater' as well as DE and show car during the summer. I have an old set of Blizzaks that I use in the winter and she gets around great on ice or snow < 4". When I was working, I had to get to work and she always got me there. This was pre-work from home and even when that was an option, I'd come in to prove I could. Porsches have great insulation from salt plus you do lots of hand wash jobs. A typical winter only has 2 or 3 really big storms. Now that I'm retired, I can plan ahead with provisions and stay home when it snows big time.

And when someone asks if I drive my Porsches in the winter, I say in my best German accent, "Dey have snow in da Fatherland ".
