Have a look at the Whiteline website discussion paaer on ALK if you want to be blinded by science. They show that actually the ALK increases lift slightly, the benefit is in allowing the suspension to work properly. I've just had ALK and rear ARB done on my 03 STi PPP Prodrive springs. Mine used to dance about on hard acceleration but is now much steadier with loads more front end grip. Can't say I've noticed much difference in physical lift and/or dive, perhaps you could do with firmer springs.

As D1CCY says, have a look on the Whiteline site. http://www.whiteline.com.au/articles...WL%20ALK_b.pdf

The front raising under acceleration might be a result of too much toe in on the front, not enough low speed rebound damping on the front, not enough low speed bump damping at the back or too little spring rate at the back compared to the front.

Cheers

Dead right. Here's my Sti with all manner of mods off the start line. It really does not lift:
