None other than a bit more lag and a lot of hassle. Unless your running lots of mods and/or doing track days were you are running at high speed for long periods then it's not worth it. The standard TM is not great but should be good for over 300 brake.

I bought one because there was a group buy on at a good price, and could do the job of fitting myself, to get one fitted would cost you a few quid, just not worth it on a near standard car.

If that`s your only mods i wouldn`t bother really, Top Mount is ok with up to 300-320ish...............
