I can bring it by for show and tell, it's pretty straight forward:
It's a replacement bracket/bushing for the front control arms (the big butterfly looking ones). It lowers the rear mounting point for the control arms by about 1/2", which adds +.5 deg static castor to the front wheels. The bushing is polyurethane (instead of the stock liquid filled rubber) that firms up the responsiveness (and adds a bunch of NVH).
The bushing helps crispen turn in, and the castor helps add dynamic negative camber during turns. They call it and "Anti-Lift Kit" because it help keep the front end of the car down under acceleration out of tight turns (tho some drag guys say it helps in a straight line too). Bascially more traction up front when accelerating, tho I'm sure a LSD up front would be a much bigger help.
