Torque Damper, Anyone running one?
Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried one of these in their x. The reason I ask is because I notice on my car when I push the clutch down during hard driving I sometimes hear and feel the engine dive forward. I used a damper on my 8 but was wondering if this is the best way to go for the x without too much added vibration such as you would get from poly motor mounts.
thanks

^ Agree front engine mount! The front engine mount will hold the torque better but be a bit viby. Where the torque damper doesn't control as much torque but not as viby. it is a trade of between the two and what you really want.

Yes. 
This is the full kit that I have if you want to just go ahead and get a nice kit. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ve...or-mounts.html

In my experiences an engine torque damper is a bandaid solution. The engine needs to move somewhat during normal operation. Most of the dampers are rigid with a plastic bushing inside that allows almost no flex. They also tend to transmit excessive vibration to the chassis and cabin. A better solution is some polyurethane engine mounts.
