1 pieces are nice but a pain to install. I have a 2 piece design from Blox Racing on eBay. I've put about 2000 miles on them in the past month which include mountain runs, out of state drives and have no problems. I periodically check to see if they're still snug and haven't found a loose one yet.

2 piece is just easier to install. You don't have to pull the CV all the way off. They slide around the loosened bolts.

Yea 2 piece looks easier to install. I was just actually looking at the BLox one as well. Not sure if blox or megans was a better quality. I thought they were actually the same manufactorer. Thanks for the imput

I have the t1r 2 piece version (black) and am happy with them. I don't think there is a huge difference between any of the manufacturers. Only concern would be hardware quality- cheaper kits may come with cheaper hardware.

As said above. I'm usIng Megan racing 2 pieces ones and they're still holding up after 1 track day and daily driven for about 5.000 kms. I have heard of them becoming loose over time and falling apart. Just make sure you apply a dab of locktite on the bolts when installing. Megan ones have blue locktite applied to the bolts do that's a bonus.

I have T1R spacers (2-piece) on my S. The 2 piece were very easy to install. Im not sure if there is any difference between the 1 piece and 2.
