Mk V Whiteline Swaybar and ALK review

[isaw]

Whiteline,

I noticed you now have some form of "lock" to stop the rear sway moving through the mounting points.
Are these available for purchase? Mine moves around a fair bit and I'd like to be able to stop it

Is the effect of the ALK on the MkV to soften the anti-dive/anti-lift as delivered by VW?
That's what this paper says it does with the Subaru WRX in 2003.

If so, would the ALK alone, without the stiffer FSB, increase front roll (thus increasing front end grip)?

Edit: just seen that it does do all this on the Rennenhaus site

Can you please elaborate on how a swaybar is adding castor?

The ALK does that part.

Hi,

Yes we have the new gold annodised locks you can get from any of our re-sellers they are part number KLL1_ _ the last two numbers of the part number you use the diameter of the sway bar so IF it is 24mm sway bar it would be KLL124 lock kit

Yes these do basically what the paper for the Subaru says.

A sway bar does not add castor but our Anti lift kit does and what we were talking about.

It changes the position of the rear of the control arm and pushes the whee slightly forward hence adding castor

Thanks for the link to the paper - this would then explain why my car no longer dives into dips and hard turns with the ALK installed. The ALK does both jobs of anti-lift and anti-dive.

Sounds good, how much are they gonna cost me and will they work with my H&R sways?

Do a search online. MRT in Sydney and Rennenhaus in Gosford are dealers and have online stores.

The ALK works independent of the sways - i.e. you don't have to have WL sways installed.
