Default Engine damper? worthwhile mod?

Just wondered if anyone has fitted an engine damper and whether it made any noticeable difference?

Also I am contemplating replacing some of the bushes on my S for P/U bushes. First up is the diff mounts, as Ive heard the rubber mounts can cause the back end to step out unpredictably. Can anyone back this up?

I've considered the engine damper (Js Racing one). I think there are a couple of peps with them fitted (Lou S2k?)

Can't help on the bushes but I'd be interested to know as well!

Yes and Yes!

Makes for a smoother gear change.

Don't think so. You get 2 hoses and they both connect to the radiator.

Ok ta. The TB one is also coolant. My new one for my intake is an extremely tight fit and wouldn't go on all the way! Will try some fairy
