Installed the tryrolsport one today, LOVE it!

It arrived in one day but I'm a wuss and waited for a warm day to install. Took literally 20mins and I've never wrenched on a mini till today. The instructions were dead easy to follow and they said the stock c clip will go missing, it sure did! Good thing they send one with the kit. I set mine to the 40% reduction and really enjoyed the test drive. Throws click much better and are more like a real sports car than stock.
So I give it a 4 out of 5 overall. Would have been 5 of 5 but it is hard to believe the price for a small piece of aluminum and a lever but I guess they have to recoup R&D costs somewhere.

Picked up The Dread Pirate yesterday. The NM tune is AWESOME!!! I am loving on the Helix SSK too. it doe take a little more muscle to shift (geometry or unicorn horn dust or some-such) but it's worth it for the shorter throw (and I'm a dude and have muscles).
