Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm about to pull the trigger on purchasing a set of coilovers from them as well. If they were still to be in need of a mule car to fabricate a brackets, The Bruised Banana could similarly be made available to them...

off topic so ill make it quick...

I'm getting coilovers from Fortune Auto (located in VA near Richmond) and since they didn't have a brake bracket (you had to zip tie brake line to coilover) I offered my car to be used to fab and test fit the brake line bracket for our cars. This was in December. And since then I scheduled with them on Feb 20th to have my coils installed and all the test bracket test fit done... but like I said earlier, FA was able to get another S2K to come this month to use as test mule. So no need to wait for me on Feb.

I'm just not willing to drive my car 2.5hrs (5hrs total) in salt invested roads in January, so I scheduled in Feb 20th which is also a holiday break for me, instead of taking pto.

Poor Mac, you were like a man crying in the wilderness trying to get folks to recognize your excellent additional suggestions . Well cheer up dude! ...I found your DIY to be MOST HELPFUL and I especially took advantage of your suggestion to unbolt the forward diff mounts completely...and simply slide them back out of the forward diff bushings. BRILLIANT!

I finally got around to installing mine tonight. WOW!!! See, you spell 'slop'...s-l-o-p. You spell 'no slop'...'E-x-e-d-i-u-m R-a-c-i-n-g D-i-f-f C-o-l-l-a-r-s'!

My review is a little tainted as I've also recently installed a new (and incredibly freshly/well-greased) Axial Short Shifter as well as new Fortune Auto 510s w/ 10K Swift springs...soooo, um, yeah...to say, "My sheit is tite yo", well, that'd be an understatement this evening . I cannot believe just how friggin' fresh this car's handling is now. But there is no denying the benefits of the Exedium diff collars. Just playing with the gas pedal is a joy now. No buck, lurch between shifts...just stupid-smooth now. I'm seriously giddy!

252,000 miles (or as I now like to say, "Over one-quarter of a million miles!" ) on The Bruised Banana, and you just wouldn't know it to push it on a country road. Awesome!










I *do* now wish I'd thought to purchase the anodized gold collars now however...since the FA 510s' bases are similarly anodized gold. Oh well... Still parts-is-parts and as long as they do the job functionally, I don't guess the purple will clash too badly with my...dirty-ass-undercarriage

Just bought these! Most colors are on sale for $115 right now and shipping was free, not sure if that's normal.
