WALK vs Superpro Anti Lift... I have confused myself..

[majinvash]

Hi

I am looking to get my 2008 Edition 30 a little more planted on the road. I came from having a modified JDM Subaru STI and am really missing the ability to put my foot down in 1st/2nd and having the wheels not spin up!
Having said that I do love my ED30! Its so much nicer to live with than the scooby and the fuel economy is amazing!

I have decided on a full set of Goodyear F1's and then 4 wheel alignment with ( if I can ) a little bit of fast road setting.

I also want to get some form of anti lift kit install, so that I can try and keep the power down ( next step will be Revo )

To get the WALK installed is going to be circa £160 + an hour or so labour so lets say £60.
It has been noted that it is also recommended I replace the front bushing at the same time. This is £45 or so with Powerflex but people seem to be recommending all over many forums Superpro as a better alternative, which seems to be about £90 + fitting so another 1hr or so £60

So to have the WALK fitted properly by a popular VAG specialist I have been quoted £385, which is perfectly reasonable I think

Now due to my research I have seen the Superpro bushing replacement which has Antilift built in. So that's £90 + hour so fitting so I can guess at about £150ish fitted.

Is the WALK route really worth double the price of the Superpro?
Does the WALK keep a MK5 that much more planted or do they do pretty much the same thing? ( That me ( spirited ) on the road is going to notice, I am not a track person )

I have googled.. Read both ( below ). But I am now totally lost and in need of some advice from you good people

Hi Mat  

Another option and possibly simpler, is to replace your OEM (standard) Wishbone Arms with the lightweight ones by SuperPro because they have the SuperPro ALK (as opposed to Whiteline ALK) and their bushes on both ends already fitted.

Alex @ AKS would give you a good price and he knows about this kit.

I would also recomend Alex as your port of call for this query & mod

So are the Super Pro arms their own or just S3 ones?

....SuperPro's own as far as I know.

Looks like someone bought some S3 arms and a tube of Solvol Autusol.

They are corroding my retinas!!

Super shiny and I expect they are going to be pretty expensive.

I will give AKS a shout tomorrow, see how he rates the Bushing with the anti lift built in :)
