Prostreetonline, which strut tower are you using when you installed the engine damper? I am thinking about upgrading mine and I was wondering which one would work best with this engine damper aswell, and yes it sucks that the price has gone up on these

 

^^ Nevermind, it's the cusco but what is that TEIN peice underneath it?

 

That's the pillow ball mount for the coilovers they have on the car.

 

Oh ok thanks.

 

Hey, installed this tonite. Works really well and I'm really enjoying it, however I'd like to add a few install tips, this made it pretty simple I thought and did a perfect job.

Remove Strut Tower all togeather or if you are lazy just undo the screws on the passenger side and the 2 in the middle for a little wiggle room. (14mm)

Place the main adapter bracket down and make sure it looks alright

Remove main adapter bracket and install it to the damper / actuator this way you can get it tight. (Need a pair of pliars to hold one end and a 17mm socket)

Remove the 2 engine mounts I had to unbolt the connector that was holding the black hose close to the engine mounts for easy access.

Slide on the adapter plate and put your 2 engine mount bolts back on but leave them pretty loose.

Remove the clip that is holding the AC line and flip it this way it will be out of your way. (12mm)

Slide the main adapter bracket / and now the installed damper / actuator down to where you had it before.

Line it up with the adapter plate (you left it loose so you can move it around and get it right on / not have to fight it) and attach the screw tighten it up.

Tighten down the 2 engine mounts

If you unscrewed the black hose that was next to the engine mounts re-attach it.

Reinstall the strut bar and if you removed it all togeather line up the middle screws first and install them. Then do the sides.

My friend and I did this entire job in about 15 minutes.

Very easy I thought with the right tools and the benefits are great!!

Thanks!

 

i just happened to pick one of these up yesterday before i saw this thread. i used
staton's advice and the thing installed in 10 minutes. not sure what the problem
was for the guy who couldn't get his to work. it's so simple, all i can think is they
sent the wrong length dampener(for another car) with it.

as for performance...
i figured that most people exagerate a bit so if it helped even a little i would be
happy. well as soon as i started the car i knew this was a good thing. i have hks
264's in the car and it idles a little rough normally, but after the dampener was
installed the car doesn't shake nearly as much. it feels MUCH smoother. and
whoever talked about the first gear/low speed parking lot type driving was right. i
think my mounts are pretty shot so i really get an ocsolation when trying to drive
in first just above idle. this thing helped my car a ton.

i wasn't expecting a lot from this part, but it definately as good as people say it is.
