Thumbs up I need your input!

So, I just picked up a J's racing strutbar and engine damper with heat shield at a sweet price from a S2Ki member. I was told that the engine damper is very hard on the drive train and could cause more damage than good. Just wanted to see if anyone locally is running a engine damper and what they think about it.

Also I'm thinking on picking up a set of 17x9 +45 all around RAYS 57 Motorsport G07WT in Winning Blue Color.





What do you think? I know they don't have crazy concave but it's something different.

If you haven't already checked it out you should, cause I think you will have to run spacers plus race lugs for that kind of setup, not that it's a really big deal, but could potentially add 300 bucks to the overall cost. That and the car pictured has a widebody kit also...... HTH

I think Bryan720 is running the spoon etd. A friend of mine ran the j's etd and bar combo and it eventually wore through the ac line.

I believe engine dampers more bling than anything else. I took mine off. We only have about 148 lbs. of torque. Maybe 6000 rpm clutch drops give it a purpose. The only improvement I've heard of is a less shaky shifter and smoother shifting in general but I couldn't tell. They can look good though!

That's not good! Might have to do some custom work. I can always take it off ans get something else down the road.

Im running the spoon ETD. Traded my spoon exhaust (off the fit) for it. It looks good and makes the shifts feel 1000x better.
