Adjstable strut mounts V Anti-lift kit
I`m thinking of going for a set of front adjustable strut mounts from Noltec (street version) and just want to clear up a few techy issues before i do.
1. As far as I`m aware the adjustable strut mounts (ASM) are performing the same job as the Anti-lift kit (ALK) from Whiteline, is this correct?
2. The ALK offers 1.5 degrees change in positive dynamic castor and the ASM offers 10mm positive castor, how do these two values compare?
3. What disadvantages is there of using the ASM? (tyre wear, excessive noise etc)
4. The ASM also offer changes to camber (+/-) what effects does altering this have on the handling characteristics of the car?
5. Is there any decision when deciding which of these two devices to go for or it is ASM all the way? (cost of ALK is £120 and the ASM is £188)
Any other thoughts or inputs would be greatly appreciated.

See your other post!
BUT, if you do go for anything, the adjustable top mount will compensate for the alk easy, so you can live with just the one change. I think Chrome and certainly I have still the alk on because we have added the top moints after the alk. Too much bother to take them off!
