I had every bushing that connected the control arms to the frame of the car changed. One of these was the ALK.

I recommend a large 20mm+ swaybar inthe back and at least neg 0.25(minimum needed) degrees or more camber in the fronts. Also to get the maxium effect get some z-rated tires.

the first impact on drivability is the steering response. If you like that idot proof handling of stock form, say goodbye to it. With one swing you'll take a corner very quickely.

The ALK best works in normal hight cars. Also best at speeds of 50+mph, such as embankments or sharp uphill to downhill slaloms.

In auto-xing, you'll see no significant difference, since the car likes to revert to it's rudamentary stock characteristics at that time.

I consider it a fancy bushing mod.
