okay so i just got it today and installed it
installing is just a piece of cake and not gonna take you more than 15 mins
and there's no need to disconnect the battery or whatsoever
but it is necessary to prepare a Torx screw driver to open the steering wheel
after installing the steering wheel feel heavier
i can tell even it is snowing like there's no tomorrow
i believe it would feel more obvious when its dry outside
and I'll try to feel if there's less vibration after installed

ISBU installed my dampener tonite and here is my review:
Ok just some basic info, my car is on teinSS coils, 19"rims 35series tires, very firm ride and i feel everything on the road.
There is a immediate noticeable difference in steering wheel vibration, its not dramatic but enough to cut the vibration causing less driving fatigue in your hands. You WILL notice it, for 30bucks you cannot go wrong, i highly recommend this for anyone with a modified setup.

I didn't feels any vibration from the steering wheel in my 350....so this part just give you a heavier steering feels? Is it makes the car responds quicker/handling sharper?

it sure does makes the steering wheel a heavier feeling
since i dont really feel vibrations...
but i believe is reduces a little of the going thru bump vibrations

i think it just makes stiffens the steering so it doesn't feel like its floating...
but what i want to know is what vibration did it reduce ... if you got vibration through the steering wheel... thats another problem ... but is it the way the steering wheel jerks left or right on bumpy roads?
