The anti-lift kit is not really designed for launching. What it does is, it allows the front wheels to bite and hold. Our cars typically when entering a turn will lose a majority of the camber that you have set. The ALK will allow your camber settings to hold through the turn to reduce understeer. It makes a difference. Don't get the comfort ones. Waste of money. Get the sport or the race. You will notice more noise and bumps could be a little more jarring in the steering wheel as well.

And for any of you hella flush guys who love to be low, the ALK will drop your subframe another 1/2 inch. My car is pretty low until I fix the suspension and I smack speed bumps with the subframe right behind the front wheels.

Ima put my ride height back to stock or to what the coilover recommends, after I install the alk. Also Msi seems to be only high hp like old man or rally cars.
