Had the anti-lift kit fitted the other day, and despite technical arguments that say otherwise, it does appear to reduce front end lift when accelerating in a straight line.
A side effect seems to be that the car feels quicker (although I agree it's probably an illusion). In theory however, grip issues aside), shouldn't a car with say zero lift get more power down, as less power is lost to weight transfer over a car with hugh lift?

I had both the anti-lift and anti-dive fitted.
Car stays flat all the time under hard acceleration and heavy braking.... Lovely

The anti-dive prevents the nose from 'diving' under braking - helps to keep the car flat just as the anti-lift helps under acceleration.
Powerstation fitted both - cant remember how much it was now but they would quote you over the phone if you call them.

The ALK kit comes from Whiteline, the inventors of it.
It alters the castor angle and thereby decreasing lift when accelerating, especially out of a corner. The negative side is increased noise and wibration in the steeringculomn. The positive side is better steering response and reactions.
But what you mean with anti-dive is totally strange to me...
