A ALK changes your front suspension geometry by lowering the pickup point for the lower control arm. The result is a decrease in the built-in anti-dive/anti-lift geometry effect, meaning your front-end will stick more in both acceleration and braking modes.
Please dont think this kit will stop your cars nose from trying to wheelie under hard acceleration! In these circumstances, anti lift would rather look at the actions of the wheel, it keep's your wheels from lifting(making the front end stick more)and not the body action. Infact it will increase nose lift! The kit will also allow the nose of the car to dive a little more under braking (again making the front end stick more).
Have a read here for some fact, there are a lot of mixed opinion about this

basically, before i fitted it my car would bounce the back wheels when under heavy accelerating, after it was like driving a new car and the bouncing stopped and it is so smooth under acceleration now, one of the best mods i ever did

I user terms, I can now take a straight line across a heavily cambered (two lane) roundabout with no scrabbling, understeer, or torque-steer ! Before the car first understeered in, then torque-steered over the camber and finally scrabbled for grip on the exit.
