Whiteline Anti Lift Kit

The only review that I could find was for the SI. This could be a first!

There is a review up on the RV6 kit, which is supposedly a high durometer. The owner doesn’t feel like there was any real increased in vibration or harshness, so it bodes well for this kit, which should be even less harsh.

vibration no, but they do make a more solid ride. I don't think it is "harsh" by any means, but harsher than it was. I like that feeling, others might not. You should be right though about these being more forgiving since I understood them to be slightly softer too. This kit also does not include the solid spherical bearing for the front joint so that would make a softer ride as well.

Do the spherical bearings need to be heavily greased like poly bushings?

No - there aren't even greasing locations for that front bearing.

Man I’m going all out on this Si, thinking of buying new control arms to install these on.

@davemarco I still haven’t installed mines yet because I’m waiting to receive the Spoon zero bump steer kit, but someone else has installed the Whiteline anti lift kit:

Thanks. I have mine sitting in my living room right now. I was all set to install, but now I may wait until the 2020 suspension parts are available and have been evaluated. If the new front LCA's offer improved performance, I'll liked buy them as replacements for mine and put the ALK in those.

On a related note, I recently got an alignment and my front driver side caster is 0.3 below the bottom of the factory spec range. I've read I might be able to even that out a bit with a subframe alignment. Are you at all familiar with that concept?

Like the idea of reduce understeer, bot 100% sure how this product alone will make the "night & day" difference as claimed by that review.. wander if he changed something else at the same time?

Not really familiar with alignments, I just take my car into a really good performance shop hoping they can give the car a good alignment lol

I know where I took my car in for an alignment, the toe and camber were all over the place on stock.. had to have that sorted!

Whiteline ALK shouldn't be too hard to install, so if you're planning to keep it, i'd just install it. As for your caster, it depends how far off your subframe is if any. Haven't heard of anyone having to adjust their subframe. How many miles do you have?
Now the other question is, how will these compare to the RV6 bushing set.

I’m familiar with Whiteline since my Subaru days and the ALK is one of the best mods we did to that chassis. It resists the nose raising up upon acceleration and that allows for more grip in the front end. This was useful for reducing understeer and giving the driver more confidence to lay on the gas when coming around a bend. The NVH increase was minimal especially compared to a hardened motor mount.
I’m interested in purchasing a set for my 2019 FK8 but hoping for a sale price before I pull the trigger. Would be nice if we can get a group purchase for this item.

I don't doubt that this improves things, but I wonder why the car doesn't come with this suspension geometry from the factory? Does it help with wheel hop at all?
