Can anyone comment on if these collars cause more noise or exhaust resonance/vibrations to be transmitted into the cabin?

I did not notice anything.

Less noise and vibration transfered to the cabin, makes it not feel so much like a honda. And what I mean by that is not so much Like a tin can. I give to this product

Any downside to the collars (besides lighter wallet)?

The regret that you didnt do it sooner

Think of it as preventative maintenance. Yeah, it's not sexy, but it keeps your car happy.

I already have these collars on hand and am gathering data (journals) from autoX and track days to compare the AFTER effects of installing these suckers.

Will post up a comprehensive review afterwards. This will be officially the first mod I do to the car.

I couldnt have come up with a better review. U guys rocked on your writeups !!

Ive had these (Spoon Rigid Collars) on my 06 AP2 for about 6 months now and I am veeeery happy with the way my car feels. It could be a combination of parts that might make my car feel this good, but I feel the collars DID play a huuuuge role (in my opinion) in better feedback from my car.

Depending on your setup, you might get different results

Besides running better tires, this is one of the best upgrades Ive done to my car.

I had these installed by blacktrax who also did the alignment. According to Aki there, I didnt have to replace my subframe bolts,

Is there really any difference, aside from price, between the Spoon collars and the Manzo ones?

I installed these about a year ago. They are worth it in my opinion. The car feels more sturdy, especially over uneven roads and bumps.

I have to say if you are just installing the collars and nothing else, you will probably not feel the difference. I paired these with Spoon motor mounts, diff mounts and a bumpsteer kit. All of the parts together are all star.
