Anyone use them? Any good?


Is there any difference between those in the red packaging and those in the yellow? Places I've looked show different boxes but the bits look the same.

Brilliant, I wouldn't drive without one after having one, not only do they give you better feel for the car and better stability in your seat but you feel so much safer with one on, I had a high speed crash due to another driver being a C**T whish had my on my side in a lake after hitting several trees, with the other driver just driving off with no regard for my safety at all (also I subsequently lost my job and company car was written off and was still in probation period).

I got out of the car with not a scratch on me and I'd put that 40% down to the very safe Toyota Corrola I was in 40% down to the CG-LOCK (as without it I would have come out of my seat a bit hit hit my head whereas I was actually pinned in and kept away from danger) and 20% pure luck!

All in all I'd say that the poultry £40-50 quid they cost is money well well spent!

The difference between the two is the red packaging is mk1 and the yellow is mk2, mk2 has a wider plate on it so its easier to slide (the thinner plate gets stuck sometimes), a longer lever (easier to get to/operate), and I think its quite a bit lighter too.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that. Is Mk2 worth double the money of Mk1?
