which makes a HUGE difference, since the design flaw of the Border unit was the bracket(just a thin piece of metal literally, that has nothing to push against). The way the SPL bracket is designed, looks a lot more sturdy and is a superior unit compared to Border one and probably saves even more weight(maybe only a couple pounds)than the Stillen unit, the plus side is that you get new rods instead of using the old ones. Another plus is the rubber cover over the pillow mount bushing. GOOD JOB, SPL! -Jeff
