I had the ALK fitted to my Spec C on Tuesday. Made a noticebale difference to the front end. Much more progressive on turn in now. Money well spent IMO.

What size rear ARB does the Spec C have ?
I take it the Whiteline ARB wouldn't be necessary with a Spec C ?

911

If you cantact the 'big boys' you can get a package of parts/installation.
Might be cheaper in the end?

Now, this may be my driving, but, does the anti lift kit stop the bobbing and weaving I get sometimes through a bend when slighlty adjusting throttle. Maybe it's that the electronic throttle is too sensitive on the 2.5's...? Maybe it's my heavy feet, but will the ALK remedy this..?

I found the steering to be more precise and nowhere near as much diving/pitching under braking/throttle.

ALK, ARB & 4WG were an excellent mod.
