Any feedback or reviews of the carbon synchros from Synchrotec

Hey guys, I am having my trans built this winter and I am conteplating getting the carbon synchros from Synchrotec. I havnt heard much or seen many reviews on them and its making me question my decision on whether or not to purchase them. I have been told by one good builder, that the bronze synchros work great when a good clutch is present. Im just looking for any reviews on the carbon synchros if anyone has them.

Thanks
Anthony

I ran them this year, and they shifted great. Until my Clutch got too bad and couldnt hit 2nd at the track. But that was pretty close to the last track day of the year, which was longer than the none carbon synchro's lasted me. They dont shift any worse so why not give them a shot?

Maybe I'm asking for much, but I don't want a trans that has to be freshened up every year lol. I mean I put about 5000 miles of street driving, then maybe 20 passes a year.

Mine was a clutch issue yet again, I believe the trans wouldnt have had any issues if it wasnt for clutch drag

I had my trans rebuilt with the carbon synchros and have had nothing but good things to say so far. I haven't been to the track but have yet to miss a shift when shifting hard on the street.

I had them put in along with a new clutch and I love how the car shifted at the track. I'm not the greatest driver either but I felt a huge improvement over OEM. How long do they last? I don't know.
