Installed on Jeff's ride and damn is it hot looking! I asked him to rev the motor and it barely moved when shooting up to redline! VERY COOL!

When I drove the car I didnt feel it... The large spring on the dampner acts as an absorber to little shocks and vibrations... the piston type shock keeps the engine from moving...

How's the installation? It looks pretty straitforward bolt-on, or is there more to it?

That looks pretty damn nice, but that price is pretty ugly. That will probably be the last thing I do, if at all. Nice install though.

Although I think it looks very nice, I think its completely worthless in the Z. Have you ever seen the Z's motor while dynoing and hitting limiter? It doesnt move, this would be an ok mod for cars with weak motor mounts, but the Z is very good from the factory. Jason, go out pop your hood, and ask Jeff to rev your car, you will see with your own eyes the difference between your cars is not worth the price of that dampner....jmo

Jason, you need to spell check your descriptions that you put on your web site. misspelled 'dampener'.

And do those radiator cooling pannels really help? and if so why do factory cars have the hole there anywhays, there must be a reason, its free to samke id smaller for just the latch. FOr them at least. there must be a reason, ? i just can't think of one. why would someone want the air to go into the enigine bay instead of the radiator, maybe stagnant air in the engine bay is really bad and thats why there is a big whole. i have no clue. ps do you work onweekends, sunday? probably nooh service is closed snyways on sundays, ok nevermind thank you.

We are open Saturday's... not sundays...

That cooling panel makes it next to imposible to open the hood... and same with shutting... jeff has a little dent in the top of his hood from pressing down on it to shut it...

we have one in stock too
