Funny how a totally different person and different (similar goal) product seem to also have the "imaginary" benefits I mentioned of the rear feeling more solid and the DCT functioning much better. I guess it's quite an imaginary world we are living in... 
This is only directed at those who went a little over the top with saying my claims were imaginary and totally impossible. Just had to say it after checking out that link  |
Two wrongs don't make a right...
The internet is absolutely filled with folks making claims that some mod X or Y "feels" better (faster, louder, firmer, sexier, etc.) after it is installed. Ever hear of the placebo effect? It is the exact same thing going on here with cars. I don't know how many folks I have debated on this topic. Here is what it comes down to. Image the following thought experiment. Line up 10 identical cars with this mod and 10 without it. Test the cars (i.e. you personally drive them) in a random sequence but DO NOT induce wheel hop. Also conduct the testing on a very smooth road so any NVH changes are not a give away (not sure they would be but there is a chance of that).
I would be willing to bet you pinks that you could not do any better than flipping a coin in guessing which cars have and which do not have this mod. I've had this discussion about all sorts of mods from wheel spacers and suspension cross braces to air filters and exhausts. We so desperately want to feel a true difference and thus viola, we do.
Now all that being said, I don't doubt that that product can reduce or eliminate wheel hop. In my humble opinion that is all it must do to be successful and very worthwhile.
