so its just a strong hydraulic piston that keeps the engine more forced down in place? make a review for the product section. i'd like to see more time and drawbacks of doing this mod. is there any other company that will be making decent duplicates?

it's actually urethane rubber with nylon spacer. with a rod pushing them. it;s quite nice,

only drawbacks are you can hear some stuff when yer idling.

company that'll make duplicates? nah not that i know of. it wouldnt be terrible to make but yeah.

I'm 99% sure that TEIN has these as well, I recall seeing Xb Engine Dams...

So what do you feel? how big is the difference? better pickup? quicker response?

It's the grey thing by the rubber hose.


PS, this thing will rattle itself apart while you're driving... it's happened to me and my friend. es65notch is his SN if you wish to investigate my facts.
