Both will do the job. The HKS is designed for RHD FD so it has some differences to account for the RHD steering column. I have used Bonez for years and love it.

Niceee, I used a Bonez for a few years, I liked it a lot. I also had(actually still have) a HKS dp, it looks like it has a big dent in the side of it so it would clear the RHD steering column..

how much does it cost to get it ceramic coated? and where do you normally go to get it done?

also i noticed from the picture that the bonez looks alot like the petit(sp?) dp, with the petit i always have problems with bolting on/off with one stud (one with green arrow) or bottom left stud

My HKS unit bolted in perfectly. I had mine ceramic coated as well. Noticible improvement over stock.

My coating was $125. As for the bolt, I've never had any issues with the bolt myself. However, as I always say; having the proper tools makes the job MUCH easier.

My HKS DP (ceramic coated) did fit perfectly and I love it (but that's the only one I have ever tried).
