I know we did one on my buddies car and all we noticed was the car felt stiff. I just installed the ECS version and it fit like a champ. Awesome design PITA to install. My knuckles are healing.

I've had mine on for over a year and the only negative thing I noticed after install was the "vibration" sound at about 2k RPMs which has been widely noticed by many. I did noticed the handling was much better and I lost all wheel hope so the positives outweigh the negatives IMO.

oh yeah..works great...just seems one of the side-effects is lots of nvh. for me its bad around 3000 - 3500 rpms while moving up thru the gears. steady state cruising is fine. i wonder how critical the shimming of the rubber snub things is to minimizing nvh.

Have the engine solid mounts and the rearend hard mount. I like them on the track. If my Z were a DD I doubt I would like them as much. Vibration and noise is more noticable but not at all bad for track stuff.
