Would it be worth while to get a Anti lift kit for our magna's?? or is it just a waste of time and money.
thanx

Have had one of these since they were put out.You can feel the front not lifting when accell.Consedering that they are only fat washers etc.,

eagleaus, does the nose dive noticably more under hard brakes than it did before the kit was fitted?

And how do they effect everyday drivability and handelling. Do you have on on the Magna or your previous car?

haven't got them myself, but i remember B. (original fastmagna webmaster) had them on his beast... he said that they helped a lot, but i'm unsure as to how much as he got the whole Whiteline Works package done to his car at once (his car was the mule) and i'm guess he could only relate the new package to the old stock one!

They will increase NVH levels with everyday driving as they are made out of urethane which has lower compliance than the stock rubber bushes. They fit into the lower control arms with new carriers onto the crossmember. Whilst they do decrease lift on acceleration, they will increase dive on braking as you can't have one without the other.

They are great for if you do a lot of track work as it really helps the inside front tyre to gain some traction when powering out of corners. Under brake though you will find a greater tendency to oversteer as there will now be less weight on the rear wheels.

I realy noticed when accel up hills, the nose does not seem to lift.I have the bushes fitted as well, but only fitted the offset on the passanger side not the drivers as well.My suspension guy said it was not needed.

How long does it take to fit the fittings to the crossmember? Just wondering if it's worth getting then just fitting them when one goes to the drags / track.
