No one cares?

I care. (:

I've been curious about the solid aluminum rack bushings, and now these... Where exactly do these go? Any pics installed? edit- nevermind checked the link.

My only concern with solid bushings/lockdown brackets is if there is any additional wear or strain placed on the steering rack mechanisms, specifically the electric steering system that may be affected by additional vibration, etc. I wouldn't expect it to be a problem but I.m curious.

There is not going to be any additional wear on the parts, but there is a very minor amount of NVH that will come through. It's very very very minor, and all of our testers felt the added NVH was so small compared to how much the steering was improved.

Any reviews anyone?

They are just solid rack bushings. I ran them in both my cobras. It truly is a night and day difference in steering feel. Make an already awesome steering feel into something better! These are going on my mod list for sure!

TouchMyHonda · 04-29-2014, 11:11 AM

So I installed these about a month+ ago. They immediately tighten up the steering. Virtually no play now. The response is greatly improved (However I did install coilovers and sway bars at the same time).

There is definitely more NVH than "Very Very Very" little. However this is mostly noticeable on roads that are poorly paved and that's only when I really even remember that I have this mod. I do enjoy the additional feed back as it gives me more information, which is why you should do this mod. Its not going to make you faster around a track, but it will certainly give you more information from the tires.

I have tracked my car with these installed and nothing failed. Sorry I cant be more detailed than this, it is a pretty simple mod.

I read your post just last night prior to installing my steering rack lockdown kit today. It's only been about 30 miles but I haven't noticed any NVH. All stock engine except tune so no noise to hide anything. Steering feels a bit tighter but so far just a negligible difference

Maybe I'm not sensitive enough to these changes. Then again I did another trans fluid change with pentosin at the same time and the trans feels faaaantastic again.

Granted, I did sway bars, coil overs and the lockouts at the same time. There is defiantly more feedback in the steering wheel. With that said, I am hyper sensitive to changes and I live in Chicago where the roads are SHIT. The locks outs certainly from my experience and driving environment feel like things are tighter and more connected with the road. It's a good and slight NVH in my hands more, than in my ears. Theses did not change cabin loudness.

I guess my questions for you is, what tires are you on?

mfbmike · 06-04-2014, 01:05 PM

Details on the install? Looks straightforward - removing that one bolt and replacing oem stuff with the perrin lockdown. I see allen key holes.

Interested.

mfbmike · 06-04-2014, 01:08 PM

Just read Gopherboy's thread. For less than 100 bucks, what's there to lose?

I'll be picking up a set soon.
