Probably not. The Whiteline ones are pretty rigid. If you aren't bothered about harshness, the next obvious step would be to replace the rubber bushes with rosejoints.

Spooky one, harder drop links will make no difference to understeer. They might just sharpen the turn in ever so slightly as there will be less compliance as the rollbar loads up, but after that near instantaneous happening everything is as it was !!

My MY97 Cat had small straight plastic drop links at front and the c shaped ones at the back - had them replaced along with eibachs a while ago - the handling was much more fun with sharp turn-in and much less roll/scrub/fluffiness in corners. Just got the whiteline ARB at the rear today and now things are even better! Especially on v fast long corners when things load up a bit. Just the anti lift-kit on the immediate list now.

I wouldn't bother with an anti-lift kit after reading about other people experiances with similiar suspension mods as yours (and mine) It will mess up the stability under hard braking, and you don't want that
