Wow! $680 for two boxes containing 18 aluminum sleeves that don't actually do anything. If you thought "M" taxes were bad, this proves that "stupid" taxes are worse.

If there was motion or other play in the assemblies these gizmo's are purported to reinforce, your car would make an extraordinary range of groans and squeaks as it proceeds down the road. Most do not. Furthermore, they talk about the misalignment caused by a few thousandth's of clearance in the factory holes, while ignoring the misalignment created by inserting their aluminum washers and flanges between the mating surfaces.

For those people who spend the money and rave about the results, it will be hard to tell if the seat-of-the-pants performance improvement is caused by the collars or the advertising stickers.
