Mine were delivered to my house, had a note from TNT.
Logged on to their website and had it re-directed to my work, said it would be delivered on 15th Feb. Arrived yesterday morning, great service from TNT, which is why we use them at work

Very good looking piece of kit, well engineered.

There were no installation instructions, will some be available or is it obvious how to install the ALK. Mine was a 03WRX.

ALK now fitted, accompanied by Tein springs, CDF racing front/rear droplinks , Whiteline 22mm rear arb, Superflex wishbone/arb bushes.

Took my car into Carnetix for its alignment setup today and it is transformed!

I know the ALK is supposed to add more caster - not sure what it is as standard but here are my results:

I had a good chat with Glen at Carnetix and he has set it up to my requirements. I am doing a few trackdays now and want the car to perform well on track but I didn't want it to become unbearable on the road, neither do I want it killing a set of tyres in 5mins!

Drove the car sensibly for 60miles home and the car definatly felt alot tighter and more responsive. Also took it out on my favourite back road and the car is completely transformed! Have a day at Cadwell on 28th so will see how it does on track then!

CDF Racing - im really tempted by these and know your products are top quality normally as i've bought a light weight pulley set from you in the past, but have a few questions:

- what grade of aluminium are these made from?
- how stiff are the bushes?
- how much castor do these alk's add to a classic?

thanks
