Whiteline sway (anti-roll) kit any good?

Stelios,
I had some whiteline gear installed a few weeks ago and car is looking and driving great.
I have the front fixed 22mm bar, rear 24mm adjustable, lowered springs, front strut brace.
Cheers

Stellio,
I am back in Athens for some impartant business at the office.
I have fitted the ALK and rear adjustable sway bar 24mm., but I haven't found the recommented susp.settings to neutralise the car yet.
ALK ads some static castor which is good when accelerating but now the car understeers much more. Current settings are:
Front camber 1 deg. per side.
Rear camber 1,4 deg. per side.
Toe 0,5 neg all around.
Rear sway is at the sort adjustment.
But the car, inside the bend understeers more than before.
Prodrive suspension is very good.
But the car has lost that neutral feel that had before the ALK.

Just to make a correction.
Settings were:
Camper front: 1deg. neg.
rear : 1.4 deg.neg
Toe front: 1mm in both sides.
rear : 1mm in both sides.
With these settings I had a lot of understeer.
Whiteline suggested to me the follow:
Camper front :max equal neg.
Toe front : Zero.
Toe rear : 1mm out on both sides.
Adjusting the camper to max equal negative (which varies from car to car)I agree that you get a fine turn in but what about on the highway.You can't keep the car in straight line there.
Am I wrong?

Elia may worth asking Simon de Banke on that one m8.
I contacted Whiteline as to what they recommend as i do have WR suspension and i am happy with oversteer/understeer characteristicts (in fact the car is dead neutral) but i dont like the body roll i am getting as the car does not drift as predictably as i would like so maybe stiffening it is the answer. Or maybe getting rid of my 16' wheels + F1s for something stiffer.
BTW loads of info on power dynos etc and a fraction for suspension settings. Glad that most people have perfect suspensions...
