Another handling question

How well do anti-Lift kits handle?

[sybir]

Better.

Also, easy, as long as you keep all the bits in the bag. It's when you spread all the bits out that it's harder to handle.

(I have an ALK on both of my cars and love it, but it's not legal for any *competitive* autoX classes as far as I'm aware)

The biggest benefit seems to come from the stiffer polyurethane bushing than from the static caster added. Turn-in is crisper, but noise/vibration/harshness also goes up a bunch. I wouldn't bother unless you've already done coilovers and swaybars... much more benefit from those, even though the ALK is relatively cheap.

Also, for autocross, the ALK puts you into Prepared. Not Street Prepared, Prepared. If you plan to autocross, look into the Street Touring/Street Prepared legal offset bushings instead of the full blown ALK.

Finally, the ALK can be a bitch to install (more so the offset bushings, as you need a press to do them), and you'll need to re-align the front end when you're done.

They covered it all.

Plan to autocross? Do the press-in bushings. Care about ride? Don't do them.

Alright I see.
What front roll center adjustment kit?

Shouldn't make a difference in NVH, and should help with dynamic camber gain on lowered cars... but if you're not lowered, or just driving on the street, probably a waste of money.

Also, it too will require an alignment.

The alignment is not my problem. But will it give me a better handling advantage at an autoX on stock springs?

Roll Center Adjustment = useless on your car dude.

I would think it would be more beneficial to get some nice springs/struts or some coilovers before you did any rollcenter type stuff but what do i know, I feel like was unfashionably late to this thred.

+1. I love my springs.

you still have dibs on my setup if I can buy Scotts setup, if we get the same run group this weekend you can check it out

Alright Sounds good.
