Ok, so i ordered the damper beginning of last august, i finnally got it the end of december. So it was off to a bad start. But NSC are sending me a free Trunk Bar because of my wait.
The Damper looks ok, the paint job isn't the greatest, and the color isn't that great (copper sunset). But it can be easily painted so it's no big deal.
Installing it wasn't too hard once i had decent tools. Took about 15 mins
I took it for a test drive. The first thing i noticed was that i peeled out easier, it seems like there is more power getting to the wheels. Wheel hop is completely gone, (keep in mind this is combined with a filled front mount)
I accelerated off, and the car shifted super dooper smooth. It had already been smoothed out from the front mount, but now it is perfect, it even made me smile.
The most noticable thing is that the engine seems to be more sturdy, it feels like it can push harder and further. The car can rev significantly higher than before, which is great on an auto.
All in all, its a good product, worth the $70. If i wasn't getting a free part for my waiting, i wouldn't be happy with NSC, but they have sorted out the problem and they are having a make over of the company for 2007 so things are improving.
In my opinion this is a must have for an auto. Car seems more aggresive and shifting through 1 & 2 gears is hardly noticable, i litterally felt nothing. 3 & 4 you can feel a slight kick when it shifts, still a whole lot smoother than before.
I recomend doing this alongside a filled front motor mount (which is another easy job) for best effect. It is less work than filling the rear mount and im very happy with the final outcome.
I will post pics this weekend, before and after re-painting it.

it costs $70 from www.nscreations.vstore.ca
but they are updating the site right now.
it will not interfere with the strut bar, lots of people have strut bar/damper combination.

do a search. A bunch of Evo guys have trunk bars and they show install pics. It's fairly simple from what i've read. I don't have my trunk bar yet, they are gonna send it in the next week or so.
the trunk bar is supposed to be a good mod. One of the Evo models actually comes with one stock.
I can't wait to get it

i think u mistook my post as me being a noob, sory i was fague my bad. ill be more specific, i wanted to know ur feedback on the NSC brand trunk bar (w/ pic)
yes the RS comes w/ the mitsu trunk bar. and yes install for cusco or mitsu trunk bar is a 20 min job if done right... 10 min if done half azzed. is it a good mod? ill just tell u right off the bat dont expect night/day feel. if u want that, replace the rear sway bars.

i haven't gotten the trunk bar yet. Another week or so. I can't really complain saying as it is free.
I figure it won't make a massive difference, but from what i've read it is noticable.
I am def gonna get a new rear sway bar. This trunk bar isn't really something i was planning on buying, but it's free so i will take it and try and out. When i do, i will post up a full review on it w/pics
