Specifications
Part Details:
Installation note: the Type R uses alloy front control arms, which require separating the ball joint during installation, a more involved process than the simpler bushing swap on base and Si models.
Even a track-tuned car like the Type R carries a meaningful amount of built-in understeer for everyday safety margin. This Whiteline Anti-Lift Kit replaces the heavily voided rubber bushing in the lower front control arm with a much stiffer polyurethane bushing, while simultaneously increasing static caster through revised front suspension geometry. The combined effect sharpens initial turn-in noticeably and reduces understeer and front wheel spin under power.
More caster also improves straight-line stability at speed through a stronger self-centering effect on the wheel, and improves cornering grip by optimizing how the tire’s contact patch changes through a corner. Owners consistently describe the car feeling more responsive and planted on turn-in after installation, with minimal added NVH.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hard to install on the Type R specifically?
It’s more involved than on base or Si models, since the Type R uses alloy control arms that require separating the ball joint rather than a straightforward bushing press. If you’re comfortable installing lowering springs, this is a manageable next step.
Will this add noise or vibration?
Owners generally report minimal added NVH, some note occasional noise over larger bumps, but no meaningful change in steering effort.
Do I need an alignment after installing this?
Yes, an alignment is recommended after installation since caster and front geometry change with this kit.
