Not to discourage the support of Whiteline for it's R&D on this kit, but sometimes cheap copies are every bit as good as the original. Perhaps somebody will some day do a review of the various kits available and answer that question. (GT-Spec being the third.)

Street driven, get the Whiteline (polyurethane, low compliance) they have 3 different compounds. Trailered track stars, get the PSRS (spherical, no compliance).

Hola nhluhr,
Geometry changes...How do they differ?

Bolts...Are we talking grade 8 vs grade 5? Something else?

Thanks

Don't get me started on Whiteline hardware... My ALK came with bolts that didn't fit through the spacers they provided. Luckily my installer had spare parts left over from ALK installations and was able make do. The Whilteline front endlinks I installed on my wagon had such crappy hardware that one of the bolts stretched when I tightened it.

Whiteline's products are good, but their Q/A isn't great, their packaging isn't good, their directions suck, and their website is pitiful. I even took the time to detail my problems with the web site with Jim Gurieff, who thanked me and assured me they were working on the problem. Years later, the same problems remain...
