There are a few revies of the ETD...and it seems like there are mixed reviews about if this mod really does anything. For daily driving you most likely will not get the benifits of the ETD, if you go to the track often, then you could possible get a little benifit from the ETD. At least it looks cool though...

Here is my personal review copied from my post!
In simple words, get one! 
Here is an update. Went to R-Spec yesterday and I had the J's Racing Front strut bar fitted together with the Engine Torque Damper. In addition I replaced the OEM heatshield with the J's heatshield for the ETD, and also got the CF radiator cover trimmed and fitted. Now the engine bay is so beautiful! 
I had a run yesterday on the streets and on some nice route with plenty curves and I must say that I am impressed with the ETD and the front strut bar. More spefic the ETD changes the way the power is transfered on the road. Once you step on the accelarator the response of the power transfered is immediate and the gears are kicking the power immedietely once you shift. Even my girlfriend noticed that I did something to my car.
As for the front strut bar am very pleased once I go through quick turns/curves left to right (sudden change of direction). The car feels more accurate (slightly and I cannot describe it) and the confidence created before & while cornering is increased in my opinion. To be honest I was not expecting that since the S2000 is already solid in this respect, but I would highly recommend those latest additions.
