Question

Anyone with the Whiteline Ant-Lift Kit got any negative feedback since fitting it. Main concern is under breaking. Does the ALK lead to more dive under breaking? What's the trade off like?

Juian ... had this fitted to my MYOO Wagon, and it has improved the feel through the steering considerably, although i did have the geometery done the same day so its hard to tell which did what to the handling/sterring.. only down side to the ALK IMO is due to the harder bushes, only really noticable at slow speeds over broken road surfaces but it does crash and bang now over bumps and holes .... i did consider going back to the original mounts for the first day but soon got used to it and the benefits far out weigh this minor point IMO.

Agreed - slight increase in NVH and have not noticed any other issues. Had it done on two cars and would recommend it!!
