Do not buy it because you think it will delivery any real increase in stiffness, because it cannot. Buy it for bling if your into that sort of thing. Why do I say that? I had one to test fitment for a vendor with Koni shocks, it didn't fit. But I did a little test for fun. I stood it on end on a scale and pushed down, with little effort it started to bend and deflect, not a little but a lot. It cannot leverage any real amount of resistance between the shock towers.

i know the biggest complaint about it is that it doesnt allow much or any access to the top of the strut to make dampening adjustments if you had that capability, would require removal or drilling a hole large enough through it.

IMO it looks ugly.. I'd get the NRG for looks since it's shiny and has good quality

I'm running NRG right now and I'm thinking to switch to that ugly one. It seems to be more solid design then the bling quality.
