Default Anti lift kits whiteline

This kit is designed to add 0.5 deg. static positive caster to both front wheels while introducing a substantial amount of front anti-lift. The low compliance bushing will also maintain higher dynamic positive caster.
By changing the front control arm geometry, the new alloy mounts coupled with the new low compliance polyurethane bushings oppose front lift under acceleration. This leads to superior traction under power including cornering, dramatically reducing understeer and front wheel spin.
This additional caster coupled with the new firmer bushings supplied, serve to dramatically sharpen turn-in response, then forcing more consistent angles through the corner due to reduced bushing compliance

Found this was going to order some are there any groop buys on this item.

Actually that description is a bit off. The ALK actually increases front lift and promotes dive. The stock suspension has "anti" geometry built into, as most modern cars do. What this does, however, is artificially stiffen the suspension under torque loads of braking and acceleration. This stiffening of the suspension (and caster losses of soft standard bushing) leads to less traction when accelerating, for example on corner exit, leading to understeer when you put your foot in it. By reducing the anti geometry, it allows the suspension to remain compliant when you accelerate giving you more traction and less understeer under throttle.

the description of the caster benefits is spot on.

Its a great modification. That, along with a rear swaybar were one of the first mods I did to my classic. And its been on all my scoobs ever since.
