If you have 1,000 pounds of torque twisting the motor off the mounts I say go for it.

^It will take you 15 min to install, max.. how about just putting it on and testing yourself
Its not going to cause a shift in time/space.....

I bought one a few years back because I kept breaking the bracket mount weld on my stillen test pipes (ProTip: Stillen Test Pipes are POS). I haven't broken the weld since, so it's doing it's job. Worth it if you can score one under a $100.

Wondering if you always buy parts and then ask if they are worth installing? Not that the used parts market does not appreciate your efforts.

I used an engine torque brace on my old RX7 and it proved to be very effective at reducing heavy vibrations. It won't increase engine response but you feel the engine more.

Just install it, can't do any harm. The Z is such an insulated car compared to the older vehicles I'm used to driving, you won't notice any vibrations or harshness from a engine damper. I never got mine to thread together all the way though (the red cap to the cylinder portion), so let me know if you manage to do that.
