whiteline anti lift kit. my basic understanding of it is that it dynamically alters the front suspension geometry in corners to keep more of the tyre in contact with the road, improving grip and handling

i can't comment on it in isolation as i had a rear ARB fitted at the same time, but together they totally transformed the handling of my car

That sounds pretty complex I won't lie! Haha where about would I go about investigating one of these? So with the rear arb WALK and lowered on eibach springs I should really be able to throw it round corners! Haha

Spend it on a holiday with your mates!  :drinking:

You will have better memories from a 21st birthday "free" holiday in a couple of years than something for the golf.

If it does have to go on something car related agree with the RNS 510!
