(Whiteline) Anti Lift Kit requiring certification?


nickch

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

So I recently installed a Whiteline anti lift kit. Part of the kit comes with spacers to bring the front U-shaped subframe down a bit to clear the new mounts.

The WOF place I went to just failed me on that saying that it is a cert requirement.

Just wanting to confirm/enquire if anyone has had issues before.

Does spacing the u shaped thingy actually effect geometry? I thought it was just a brace thing.

As per pm I passed a cert with 10mm spacers on my LCA bushes. I raised it but he said it wouldnt matter and didnt note it. They are black and wouldnt know they were there unless you were looking for them tho.

its not the subframe

I know its not the subframe.. even though the work shop manual refers to it as such.

I mentioned it doesn\'t really affect the structure of the car too much. It\'s there to keep some countries with strict crash ratings happy.

The 2 guys I talked to today seem to think its structural.. =\

Will he pass you if you take the frame off?

How does it handle now Im picking youve taken it for a spin?

have got some work to do, so I haven\'t really taken off the frame yet.

Been reading on NASIOC,and some say it does make a difference..

Can\'t say for sure yet.

I might go to a different place, as the one i went to first reckons its structural, and will probably fail me for taking it off =\

Not structural, but it does make the front end of the car really floaty. V7 sti has one, at least the wagons do.

But a WOF inspector will note that something is missing in spot given the bolts.

Removing is not an option. :(

Any recommendations for WOF places on the Shore?

that front u bar isn\'t structural, but it does stiffen up the front end. remove in favor of a k brace type thing, or notch the frame, or find a wof inspector who will pass it. i had to get a wof while i was sourcing my alloy arm bits, they had no problem with it. as stated, ymmv.

Yeah, found a WOF place that had raised some questions, but we\'re happy enough the the quality of the kit to issue me a WOF

Had a few recommendations around washers and bolt strength and recommended me to get it certified still.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
