Spoon Rigid Collar

Renowned Japanese Honda tuner Spoon Motorsports has these things called the Rigid Collar, I don't know if you guys have heard of them. It's basically an aluminum bolt spacer that ensures the chassis is perfectly aligned with the sub frame, as apparently the alignement tends to shift with a car's age.

Here's a link to the youtube video explaining what they do.

YouTube - ‪Rigid Collar - Spoon Sports Europe - English Version‬‏

They are not just for Hondas, but I know absolutely no Japanese, so I can't tell if they make them for the G37 (CV36). Can somebody with some knowledge of the language check out the website and see?

These are quite expensive though, around 215 bucks for a set. Unsurprising for JDM parts though.

I've heard of collars before, been following a few blogs and guys with R34 GTRs installing them to keep the subframe from moving around.

Looks like they have them for the V36 Skyline Sedan/Coupe - our cars.

Now I wonder if you can find a US Spoon / Type One distributor to get these.

Download google translate app to scan the instructions and it will translate them. Here's a sample of the instructions you posted.

Dedicated bolt-2 The following work or removal work is required as necessary Front tire/under cover/side cover etc.
Gazette plate and bolt (blue circle)/lower arm bar/support bar various wiring Steering universal joint bolts (red circles) such as connectors and clamps, hose stay bolts and levelers, and other procedures for attaching and detaching required parts
2 Apply the attached grease to the Rigikara and insert it into each joint with reference to the cross-sectional view *Rigikara (1) is a split type.
Divide it in two and attach it by sandwiching the bolts from the left and right. *For safety, please work one place at a time.
3 Temporarily tighten the fastening bolts little by little while maintaining the flat frame town of the subframe to some extent. *To prevent snagging, do not use an air tool to tighten the bolts.
4 Make sure that all the fastening parts are fully raised, and then tighten the port with the manufacturer's specified torque.
5 Attach the removed name.> About the attached Rigikara grease> The included grease is used to keep it clean. Please sew it to the lantern and lincan.
*Please be sure to make a test run after installing and check and adjust the steering center. If a large deviation occurs, we recommend adjusting the alignment.
