... Ingalls torque dampener. Not for me. It made my whole chassis shake and vibrate. I took my car back to basically stock to find it was that. It definitely helps to keep the engine stable, but for anything under 400whp, I think it's a waste. I'm just glad I have an evo that feels smooth again

While this may be a general post, the one thing I learned with this car and my old WRX is to try to stick with the same brand on parts. While one part may fit with its counterpart, another brand may not. You live and learn. If I had a dollar for every time I changed a part because of that, I'd be a rich man!

I usually tried to do that anyways... just makes sense... I mean the company is going to use their parts to test other parts... best to stick with the same brand.

Buschur !! i love my clutch .. southbend clutch.. its like a excedy clutches... but cheaper ..
