here is my latest (weekend):

[zel05]

$100 US Shipped. Ordered it through the MFactory website last wednesday, arrived this morning.

I know them being spherical bearing won't make much difference being adjusters...but for what they are, can't really argue.

according to the person i bought them off:

They are one of the best steering response mods I have ever done. Fantastic steering response.

but the proof was in the fact that i changed my brake lines too at the same time...

this really proved how effective the fender braces were,

as i headed down a hill towards a round about, i accelerated to a decent speed and went for the brakes to see how bad my job at bleeding them was...

there was no pedal pressure until about half way, and i was concentrating so much on who the pedal felt, i forgot to aim the car at the roundabout properly,

a tiny flick of my hands and the car felt like it was changing direction effortlessly... immediate is the word I’d use.

it was such a surprise that my mind had to recall what i had done to make it do that (as i was so damn focused on my shitty job of bleeding!) that it forgot about the braces!


sadly, i lost the sensation shortly after - never to be felt again...

they are good, because as the OEM adjusters are too rudamentary to be consistently precise... (well mine anyways, 200'000km does that!)

good price

tinks, are your rotors on the wrong way? i've been told that the slots should go against rotation.

i assume tinks would have just gone for the way they stamp it as RIght and Left =P..

yeah, on backwards, adds about 10km/h on the main straight at EC this way...
