I highly recommend the Muz. I had a Spoon but after the Muz came out I didn't like having the inferior product. So I made an open offer. If someone purchased a Muz and had it shipped to me I would send them my Spoon. Fortunately someone who values brand names more than quality took me up on the offer.

Same here. However, the Spoon brace is a much easier to install. I could not use the washers supplied with the Muz brace and have it line up correctly. Spent about an hour just trying to align the holes up so I could install the allen bolts. When I installed the Spoon brace I spent more time jacking up the car than I did installing the brace.

You understand the problem correctly Aus. I first tried installing with all four, then tried three with washers, one without, then two and two, then one and three and finally was able to get it to bolt up without any. I never had a problem with the spoon bolts backing out but will check the Muz bolts occasionally.
