I've had my Spoon ETD mounted the "traditional" way with the sliding part/push rod being closet to the motor

Here is my dilemma: after some wear due to the ac line originally rubbing on it (this being a few years ago), the blue anodized finish of the damper has been a little buffed off and I am thinking of just unbolting it and reversing it (having the sliding part closest to the shock tower)...is that gonna affect anything??

I guess my question is: Is there a right way and a wrong way to mount the ETD??

Thanks in advance

 

I would like to add my feedback on the A/C line rubbing issue. I had a similar issue with the line rubbing on the heat shield after mounting the J's Racing ETD (previous owner). It was not visible, until I lost all the freon from the system after almost two years. I had to order a new A/C line and re-arrange the line itself by going from another route, to avoid rubbing again. No issues since then.

This is not my car below, but I've marked the area in which the a/c line was rubbing.

 

what are the benefits of having an ETD

 

there are plenty of threads on that just do some searching...an ETD helps with shifting supposedly makes it a little smoother and minimizes the beating that the engine mounts take...good for bolt on setups with minimal hp gains or stock, but if you're goin FI or goin hard on the track you'll want to upgrade motor mounts

 

To the Op, note the aluminum ETD mount next to the fuse box used in the above pics, this mount allows you to install the ETD without rubbing the A/C line
You can get this mount to solve your dilemma

 

Engine mounts will get less beating as mentioned in previous posts. However, here is some additional information when I had mine fitted. It's a good mod and I recommend it.

I have been wanting to try out one of these. I may suck it up and just buy one. I just havent found one that would look good with my setup.
