HP will be happy to sell you anything but I am not sure you need it in your case.
The "problem" being fixed by the TCK mod is, briefly, when the car is lowered by say 2", this moves the hub and everything bolted to it up 2" relative to the chassis, including the lower shock body. The sway bar link mounting tab on the shock body is one of those things, and this then pulls on the link and rotates the bar in its mounts up out of horizontal, where it had a better lever arm. Lowering the mounting tab the same amount as the car is dropped then puts the bar ends back to horizontal. Make sense? It is a nice detail mod that you'd not think about unless you do real race car suspensions day in day out like those guys do.
Just to make sure you might want to get under the car with the wheels loaded up (on ramps or whatever), and see what is what.

Thanks for the reply. You are always great when it comes to xi/xdrive suspension help.
