Default Bump Steer

I've been driving my Cobra for a couple months since completing it after working on it for about 5 years. Being a chassis nerd, I noticed there was a ton of bump steer in the front end, but didn't take the time to try to do anything about it because I was all wrapped up in assembling the thing and not much was mentioned about it on the Lone Star Forum, so i figured it wasn't a big deal. But the faster I drive the thing, the more it bothers me. Has anyone done anything to address this issue?
Am I correct in assuming the front end geometry is similar to a Mustang-II? I know the steering rack needs to be raised, or the steering arm pivots need to be lowered a considerable amount, and there are kits to do exactly that available for the M-II with spacers, etc. Just wondering if this is some popular "must do" thing I just didn't know about.
