Probably improve confidence when pushing threw corners, espicially in S turns

Oh and trailing arms too

You would have a crazy handling car. Better rubber would set it off too.

I've got whiteline street ALK and ver8 sti control arms, bc coils, rear sway/links and the alk made a HUUUGE difference...was installed after the other mods and it made crazy improvement in turn in for sure...turn in is better with falken 912 and alk then with star specs/no alk

Any of you are welcome to drive my car if you make it out to SC or at the next meet or something

I can late turn and hold turns without understeer like a champ haha, ask ray he was behind me at the last madonna inn meet

Haven't really thought about launches but now that I have, I did my best launch ever about a month ago...4-5k rev and go and I don't know what I did differently but it was perfect haa I was so surprised...no lift on the front and 1-2 shift was smooth no bucking..

Love my alk...glad I won it for free at BAM last year too haha

You rep your ALK like I rep my bump steer/roll center kit haha... If I had the cash I would order every whiteline product available, I love suspension parts!
