Rigid collar for Bentley GT - anyone using?

Came across these "rigid collar" parts which align up chassis and improve handling. Has anyone had any experience with such parts and any cons if installed? Cost around USD572 for front and rear set.

What GT version model is BFCMM? 2015 models?

Thanks!

Front set


Rear set

No experience and seem interesting enough.


I was more hoping they were more durable bushing for the suspension arms, as have done that with the Ferrari. More durable bushings tend to stiffen things a bit and adds lifespan to the assembly. What the things you posted seem to be more chassis bits, for which no one I know has had a problem with. A solution looking for a problem perhaps?

Thanks for the reply as with your track experience I believe you know what works and doesn't. I guess these collars would work on some cars but the GT being so well made should be fine without.

Not found any bushes as you would have to remove old and start measuring up for best match with powerflex or similar product.

Thanks
