Hey there,
So I'm about ready to grab a RMM for my 18, but I'm running into a lot of conflicting opinions on the characteristics of the available options. I'm trying to get an idea of which one is the most ideal for my application: daily driver with plans for future autocross events. I drive like a twat sometimes, but also commute to work.
I picked up the Mountune as part of the discounted kit they sell with the AP3, but since then I've heard a lot of negative feedback, specifically about them being loud and potentially coming apart under hard acceleration. Of course, I understand that the vast majority of opinions online are going to be from people who have something to complain about and people who are happy with it have less to say, so there's some negative selection bias.
Anyway, my goal is to get a collection of opinions so that I can have a better idea of how best to spend my money. These are my collected observations, feel free to correct them!
Cobb: Softer, less NVH, possibly too soft
Mountune: Stiffer than Cobb but on the softer side, potential problems with squeaking over time.
Torque Solutions: Cheaply made, poor product
Whoosh: Better made version of the TS design, new product
Boomba: Very stiff, potentially too stiff for daily driver
cp-e: Less stiff than Boomba, more than Mountune.
My knowledge is fairly minimal and based on nothing but internet research. I'm hoping that some people who might have some more advanced knowledge could point me in the right direction!
