looks like a part looking for a problem. Do you really notice any torque problems that you would need this?

will work fine, but you might need to grind a little on the main bracket.

I have one of these babies & you will notice a differnece the first time you drive the car after install.

When an engine moves excessively in its mounts, energy is wasted. Stillen's engine stabilizer converts this wasted motion into forward momentum. An isolastic mount acts as a shock absorber and dampens unwanted motion. With no hydraulic parts to wear or fade in use, this is a long term solution. Easy mounting uses existing holes and complete instructions are provided.

I tried it, and could not tell ANY difference. Not easier to shift, not smoother, and 0.0 hp increase. Like they said, a part looking for a problem to fix. Mine did not have any problems to start with, and I was glad to get rid of it for as much as I paid.

They also make one of these bad boys for the master brake cylinder. Just have a friend press the brake pedal and you will see the master brake cylinder move when they do this = decreased braking. I have yet to get this piece also from Stillen, but I will in the near future.


While there are drivers on this Z forum whose a$$ tach don't care for this product I never read anywhere where this will improve milage, HP, or making the car easier to shift. What a moron for thinking this, did you not read this link???

I like my stillen engine damper--it made shifting at high rpms more smooth--install is slightly a b@tch however.
