I'm sorry, I don't understand what these parts are and why they would be installed. What were they designed to do and to resolve what complaint?

by filling the gap, it provides MORE rigidity with the subframe

so, its not for any of you old guys, as it will provide a more rigid experience

They are used in order to increase stiffness for less body roll and more control of the car.


In other words, for racecars.

So it's Ciallis for KC2 race cars.

Who the freak races a KC2?

Where does the suspension come from? Who manufactures Delrin bushings for the KC2 double wishbones?

It doesn't make any sense to me...and I'm pretty far out there.

Ichishima (Spoon) used to heavily track his old Legend, and even converted it to a 6 speed. I think that must be where these came from originally, and somebody discovered they'd fit the 2014 cars.

But that's just a complete guess.

Hmmmm....

Um, George races cars. In case you didn't know.

Does Spoon want to campaign a KC2, George?

From the old toothless wonder's couch, that makes sense to me. I guess if we can use stronger denture glue, we can handle the extra g-forces. Thanks for the explanation. The defense rests.

I've been contemplating these for quite some time but never pulled the trigger.


​​​​​​​There's a video somewhere that shows exactly what it does but to sum it up, it stiffens up the car by getting rid of slack between the subframes/chassis…

It is actually surprising that rigid collars aren't used as OEM with a limited production vehicle like the KC2. I know they don't want to slow down the line when they are pumping out a few hundred thousand units of a particular model, but when they are retooling to make a thousand or so units, the benefits seem to outweigh the bit of extra time to install these.

Thanks for the info and video. An old fart like me could have used these on my horse and buggy back in the day.
