They do make each gear change feel more authoritative and it feels like the drivetrain is more directly connected to the chassis. This is evident by some increased cabin noise (a slightly buzz and some resonance) and a different sound when upshifting through the gears (similar to the JTD tranny brace). I will take them off shortly since it's Winter and I'll settle for a little less cabin noise. I'll put them back on for autocrosses and track events since it's *that easy* (you can install them in 2 - 3 minutes) and that's what it was designed for.
