it helps to know what you are getting in to
then when you ready
pro /
#1 pop you hood and watch your turbo while someon starts your car, that moving around is a wild bull if you control it more it prolongs the life of you other motor mounts and gives you a small increases in reaction time just like the strut and sway bar. do for control it is meant to put a down force on the Engine


con/
more rattle / stupid people will need to be told why you car rattles so much.. its a real pain if they don't speak English
adjusting it.
its a temperature related item if you get it down you only need to do it each season. cold days or hot days it will rattle more
did i say it rattled more define it gets into the cabin you can feal and hear it .
debate it but when it comes down to it , just another mod
wont fix the world but it does what it say, just trade one rattle for another.

You can also help the rattle tremendously (it is basically only at idle, for me anyway) by using rubber washers everywhere you see the rattle happening.

The vibration feeling on the other hand is not going anywhere. There will be no more slack in your motor. Eliminate wheel hop and better shifts, but at the same time if you lug it off the line the whole car shivvers.

IMO I love it. The wheel hop really annoyed me. My old tC was an auto so wheelhop wasn't an issue. When I first got the stick, I thought the car was falling apart when I first experienced wheelhop. Never had it happen again with the stiffy.

soo is it pointless to get a torque damper if you have an auto?
