Hi been looking at these on ebay for a while now. anyone know if these work and actually make a difference?

heres a link for reference. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182092141743?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageNa me=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

That looks like a load of bollocks to me, but I'm sure someone better qualified can chip in.

 

 

Have definitely felt a difference on other cars I have fitted these to, so they are absolutely worth it in that respect - there's a tangible step change.

However, need to be sure that the diff casing/subframe mountings are strong enough to take the increased loadings that these will put on them. I seem to recall reading somewhere that S2k's are a little weak there. Unless you're tracking your car often and really want to reduce every bit of slop (there's definitely other areas you can improve first which will make more difference) then it's probably not worth in in the risk/reward department.

 

I've fitted them (bit of a faff due to access) and I 100% recommend them. It has reduced the 'slop' between gears and setting off from rest. It just makes the car feel tighter.
Noise wise, I can now hear a very very slight diff whine from the drivers seat in the low gears at low speed but absolutely nothing of concern.

I don't have any concern re. increased loadings. It doesn't make the mounting absolutely solid. If I was >350hp charged, then I would think twice.

 

Never even heard of this mod.... I've just read this from s2ki

they seem like drivers over in the state like them!

 

We spoke to Anthony at Burn! Motorsports and he was raving about them, US drivers do seem to love them and there is an easy method of installing them by just lowering the subframe slightly and sliding the collars into place rather than dropping it entirely.

Edit: I'm on about the rigid collars for the front subframe. These diff ones seem to be a bit hit and miss.

 

Tiger seal the mounts would be another way to increase rigidity.
Good review above,<tangoray link> I was nearly sold on that one and placed an order

 

I use the Spoon ones.
