Anti lift question
« on: June 27, 2015, 08:12:21 am »
Now I've had an anti lift kit fitted on my car along with new shocks and springs etc, does the anti lift kit move the front wheels forward at all? as since I've had my car back I've noticed the front wheels are nearer to the front arches now.

Ive never noticed that but is makes sense... as the anti lift is changing the angle of the shock/spring

I think it depends which kit you fitted on how much , but yes is the answer, you gain extra caster, which as you've already noticed will push the wheel forward slightly.

Did you lower the car aswell?

Ah thought so as it looked even on both sides, yea I lowered the car slight more on a H&R Cup kit.
