Default Gear Speed carbon synco set

Has anyone ever used these or heard anything about them? I know they have been around a while and i have also seen them a couple times in honda tuning. Are they good for semi daily driving?

Carbon coated synchros are better than the oem brass ones. the carbon coating is supposed to help them last longer, and be better overall. I would like to put some in mine, so if you get them, let me know how you like them.

The carbon coating just reduces friction as opposed to the normal metal on metal contact. That means smoother engagement (smoother shifting), and overall longer life...
