I stand corrected then, I was just going of the pics posted and the way it looks. I would say if everyone here says its good go for it.

Yep, that's basically it. My engine barely moves. NSC put mine on and set it to default, which is perfect. You could make it tighter but than that just puts more stress on the bushings and could cause it to break.

That was ver.1, there ver.2 (which I currently have) is much better. My engine gets a workout when I drive and the damper is still holding up like day 1. Solid product.
