I got the rear one, as I helped design them, work great, really strong.

And who did all the hard work Steve

Got the rear (as it was my idea!) and have had no problems at all, in fact I am still running the prototype one that doesn't have as much material around the camber link area and it still rocks.

Haven't bothered with the front as IMO it is bling, but the rear was needed to make effective use of the TRF shocks (no internal limiters).

I think they look good,well better than the standard towers don`t know how they hold up yet but i`m betting they do the job well.

I use both the front and rear towers. They are fantastic and I would never go back to the stock towers.

My main motivation for using the front tower was to make it easier to install or remove the front shocks for maintenance. Removing the long screw from the stock plastic tower was always a chore. The improvement in strength is also a bonus.
