   Was good when it worked but the lower collar popped off too often for me. Was more of an inconvenience than an improvement. Much prefer the GE quickhift.

   as above i was dissapointed by the collars, they kept coming loose, even when i drilled and taped 2 more holes in them.
   
   Only kept it for a few days then sold it on.

   I find my GE Quickshift more than sufficient.
   
   S8TTG has a compbrake and a GE and his throw is super short and smooth - he has had to odd problem with the collars coming loose.

   b&m or a cheap b&m copy on ebay anytime over the comp brake.
   
   Only good thing about the comp brake is the base bit looks cool.

    we recommend that people use threadlock on the grub screws. Do that and you will never have a problem

    I had one of them, never got round to fitting it though as i sold my car before I fitted it. But in my opinion, for the price you can't go wrong. Just like a B&M but way cheaper.
