These kits are now available from Demon Tweeks for £73 which seems like a good price to me 
The whole range of Whiteline products for Subaru's have been added to the 2003 catalogue.

G'day everyone (Yasu Stelios!)
We just got our copy of the 2003 Demon Tweeks Motorsport catalogue and are very pleased to get more than half a page of listings under "Suspension". We understand that the "Performance" catalogue due out in Feb 2003 will feature a full page of our bits. Hopefully this will make it easier for everyone to get access to our product. Thanks for pointing that out Andy.
Stelios, under the circumstances we are open to any suggestion re appropriate product names though I would have thought that the human hand was still the most effective "Souvlaki Handling Device" :-)
All the best

FWIW I still run an ALK on my race car, it pushes the front wheels down on to the road during acceleration and makes the car less likely to 'wheelie' on a hard launch !!

Hi,
If you don't want to get rid if the 'anti' geometry, Whiteline also manufacture a castor (KCA375) bush that leaves the pick-up point at the original height.
This will give about 0.5 degree of static castor and more importantly, reduce the castor loss under cornering load.
The main reason for wanting increased castor for me is not the increased negative camber on the outside front wheel but the increased load on the inside front wheel during cornering. The reduced 'anti' geometry helps this effect of castor to 'push the inside front wheel down' to increase front end grip and traction.
Just my ramblings..........

An old subject indeed.
On my hill climber i have the Noltec's and the ALK purly because I left the kit on for the harder poly bush when i installed the poly bushes everywhere else.
Fitting the Noltec's gave me a doubling of castor and too much camber adjustment, but the technicial who did the alignment was happy to have such a range of movement to play with!
The suspension will ride differently with the Noltec, but i did fit the dreaded AVO's at the same time so never had the problem.
I think for road driving the ALK is good and works.
Push the car on the freedom of a tight bend track, ie a hill climb and the noltec's prooved to be a big move forward to erasing understeer even in the wet.
This is in the wet/damp:
