Z1 Subframe Collars: Snake Oil or Viable Shortcut?

Tractionless · 04-04-2018, 12:37 PM

Installed mine this week but can't give a unbiased opinion as I also installed 11" wheels wrapped in 325 rubber which I only drove on for 5 miles before tossing the collars in.

I think these are a much better option.

They are not annoying to drive with and have no plastic or rubber to go bad.

Your not going to notice much of a difference with either unless your tracking your Z. Where there is some noticeable difference.

Also I think it's a bit disingenuous to start their video comparing a rotted out OEM bushing compared to theirs which is brand new.

Maybe a better overall outcome but not a <2 hr. do it on the floor job like the collars. TBH I don't need the SPL's for spirited street driving neither.
