I adjusted mine a few times over the weekend. I was able to adjust it on the car, it only took about 5 minutes to do.

I tryed out a few different setting, and I think 13 or 14 mm would be the best for a daily driver.. (This is NA with only a few extra HP, it might be different for a 250-300whp turbo tC) It doesn't rattle the interior much and still eliminates some wheel hop.

When I had it on 10mm my entire dash would shake, alot of rattles, and even my wind shield wiper would move around (you could see it moving a large ammount from within the car, it kind of just bounced around with the engine idle)

However the car felt awesome launching with the 10mm setting, no wheel hop at all and it even seemed like it spun less.

I'm going to set it to 10mm and go back to the track on friday, I have a strong feeling I can hit 2.1 60's on that setting. Which should bring me in the 9.6-9.7 range.

Since the last time I went and ran a 9.88, I added the megan s-pipe, new kumho 711 tires, the stiffy, and sometime this week the agency power crank pulley. I'm also going to take out my spare tire, and my heavy sub-box.

I'll be trying the 10mm soon.

I want to, there's just no way I could afford it right now.

If I ever do get enough I'll definately be going to you guys. I just don't see it happening anytime soon.. I'll probably just go with a ZEX wet kit and run similar times with a 75shot.

I was able to launch 2.2s before the mount on Toyo FZ4s I'm going to have better tires and go out and see what happens at the track soon with the damper on - I've been busy with autox so now I've gotta take a weekend for the drag strip. Hopefully I'll be seeing some more power soon =)

the vibrations produced from this part are terrible. I am going to put it on the softest setting and hopefully it won't suck as bad but right now I'm just about ready to throw the damn thing in the trash. Yes, it does help a lot with wheel hop but I don't really launch fast, and it seems like launching fast is the only way start off unless you want your dash to almost rattle into your lap. IMO, there are much better mods for the $.

I used a sheet of dnyo mat and I have it on the stiffest setting. I Hear nothing but maybe im bias, There is a sang . "You must pay to play!" This product WORKS maybe not the way you'd like it too but it works for what its intended to do! I always say if you can't feel a difference then its not working!!!

Robs stiffy is the best... lol. I can't wait to get some forced induction.

I still haven't used dynamat and it wasn't that bothersome sound wise to me personally.

the damper noise wasn't that big of a deal to me.. After I installed the race motor mounts then that was an issue...Like I said the dynamat took care of that..

I have something very similar to dynomat under the bracket, and I used tiolet tank cloth reinforced washers to help out as well.

If you put it on 10mm, it still rattles like crazy.

I really don't think there's a way to avoid the rattling if you have it set to 10mm.. The stiffy is completely stiff at that setting and the engine will not move at all when you rev, there's nothing absorbing it like there is on the other softer settings. It's similar to having solid motor mounts, more vibrations through out the entire car.

10-11mm, there is rattling, with dynomat or without it.

12-14mm, if you have dynomat or something similar, it won't rattle.

15mm, even if you don't have dynomat I doubt it would rattle. The piston moves alot in this setting, it's almost like stock.

I would never have to set it to anything under 13mm around town.. Anything under that is ment for the track.

Ingalls is currently looking into developing the "stiify #2" with easier adjustment functions and a quick release...multi colored too.. BUT this is still WAY in the futurre..

Personally, I thought it was engineered quite well. The only thing that sucks is that they use pot metal on the area's where you have to put a wrench to adjust it.. So everytime you adjust it, a few more marks/scratchs will show up.

I've had mine on 10mm for a few weeks now, it feels great.. Only rattles slightly if I rev to 1,000-1,100 from first gear.. Any RPM higher or any other gear and it doesn't rattle.
