The ALK is not "up top". It's an offset bracket/bushing that relocates the lower control arm rear mounting point a little less than an inch lower. It's illegal in all SCCA classes except Modified, as it changes a suspension mounting point. In addition, subframe offset bushings are necessary to relocate the front crash structure subframe so it doesn't contact the new LCA mounting point, which is also illegal in every SCCA class except Modified.

But if you're interested anyway, I've got an ALK sitting in my garage, all bagged up and ready to sell.

An alternative to the ALK is to replace the stock LCA rear bushing w/ an offset bushing. It's not quite as good as the full ALK, but you will gain some static caster, as well as firm up the LCA because the bushing is Polyurethan instead of rubber.
