Hi all,

anyone had any experience with anti lift kits ?
Handling, ride quality...
I'm not getting enough feedback through the steering
wheel, for my taste. Could this be a reasonable mod ?

I was very happy with it, turn in and loaded steering feel/feedback is far, far better. Downside seems to be NVH and the straight ahead steering feeling of an old 911 (is that bad? ). However, your geometry/suspension set-up will play a big part - I'm running -1.5 degrees camber (all round) and 1mm toe-in per side (at front) currently on Eibach springs (~25mm lower?) and Koni adjustables.

edited to add I'm also on 225 17" Falkens...I guess this also plays a part

DPJef:

The ALK adds around 1/2 deg of caster. This makes the steering slightly heavier and gives greatly improved feed back.

If you want any more info drop me a mail.

Thanks for the input so far, guys.

It's actually for a MY01 Impreza Sport (what, no turbo!?)
Getting Eibachs fitted soon (with orig. schocks), will evaluate after that.

Thumbs up

I'd agree with Richard - on the MY01 WRX it made a great improvement in steering feel and communication. If you feel that the increase in NVH is too much, Whiteline now do a "comfort" bush option that trades some of the benefits for a reported big improvement in the NVH.

Had it fitted to my MY00 last October (at PowerStation, along with the bumpsteer mod and geometry), transformed the car. Great feedback and terrific handling, very impressive.
