I have recently increased the power output of my Scoob (MY00 UK Turbo) with a full decat and Tek-2. On harsh acceleration now, the nose of the car visible lifts. On gear change it dips again. Back on the throttle: nose up.
What can I do to combat this? Is the Anti-Lift Kit (Whiteline, isn't it?) any good? Does it address this point, or something subtely different?
What other possible solutions are there? Stiffer springs? I realise that it's at the rear that it would matter, but I'd need to change to the same spring rate all-round, I imagine!
The car's suspension is totally stock right now, and is on the original 16" wheels. It feels like the power increase is showing deficiencies in the car's handling now. Bumpsteer mod is on the way. What else is good to tightening-up the handling?

I just had a set of Eibachs, anti-lift kit, rear anti-roll bar, replacement white line bushes, and the bumpsteer removal with alignment and all I can say is WOW.
The car feels so much better, corners on rails and doesn't dive when braking hard.
I had this done at Powerstation and it cost approx £650ish.
Mine is a MY00 also.
