No. Minimal gains. Save you cash for a bigger TMIC or FMIC.

Better than doing nothing. I had one on my v4 TMIC before I went to an FMIC.

Agree ..........although I said the same on the RB5 forum and got slagged, best £15 they had spent apparantly

LOL yes they are essentially just spacers, but seeing as I only paid a fiver delivered for them and I couldn't get hold of M12 nuts, it was a good deal for me.

I made spacers out of some old pipe. Cut them, one 13mm and one 20mm.......better value than a tenner on some shiny washers
