I'll assume you were referring to me - cheers mate! Pic 4 is the M5CS steering wheel trim. I assume you were asking more about Pic 5, which is the VTT rear diff brace plate and Pic 6 is the JXB street bushing centre carrier.
The VTT brace (and bushing inserts for front and rear) is one option for the rear diff bolt bending/failing. Einhorn solid bushing is another, which I had prior to VTT. The JXB carrier removes slop in the throttle feel and makes it seem more 'immediate'. It reduces the driveshaft oscillation on acceleration. |

Also, if you're not keen on dropping $3,000 plus on KWs, you should consider BC coilovers. Just got mine on today and I am quite pleased. KW probably is still the best quality, not going to argue that. But for a third of the price, the BC coilovers are excellent. Will be posting some pictures shortly. Cheers! |

They both look like stout units. The VT looks like a direct bolt up. Does that driveshaft carrier require any modifications to the underbody / chassis... ?

I agree visually they don’t appear that much different although the integrated rim protection in the sidewall is much more effective
