I am not sure that is going to do much for the bump steer.
You are of course right, it won't help at all and before removing the Empire risers and rose-joints, the steering arms were indeed parallel, as expected.
However, in the old bump-steer days, as well as having tendency to jump a full 6ft across the road following a big pothole or compression on one side, then cars used to turn-in really sharply, making the steering feel almost Caterham-like in its responses. For whatever reason, the simple act of lifting the steering arm (a la MMC Comfort Kit) changed this completely and made that initial turn-in MUCH more gentle, to the point of giving the impression of increased understeer.
Of course the Empire kit removes the geometric incorrectness that caused the bumpsteer in the first place, but also removed that sharp turn-in, in the same way as the Comfort Kit did for non-Empire owners.
So my (perhaps optimistic) hope here is that my 'hybrid' solution that corrects wishbone geometry (via Empire) yet reintroduces droopy steering arms (MMC pre-Comfort rack rod ends), might turn out to be rather good mix of the two! Maybe....
