Anyone running these? The concept seems interesting for such a simple part. I was reading a article on speedhunters about them.

Theres a link about half way through the article explaining how they work from Spoon Europe.

I can get behind the theory, but I can't get behind the price.

I don't doubt their functionality, but $235 for something that I know can be made far cheaper is absurd. They look a lot like the shifter base bushings, which are retailing for $30.

yea, the price is a bit on the highside for what they are. They could probably be made up for less than $100 at a machine shop.
