Think of it this way: for just $30 you get to add another line item to your mod list.

i've said this before and i'll say it again: If you're on a stock wheels/stock profile size tires/stock suspension/soft suspension you probably wont feel much...

BUT...if you're on 19's and up with a stiff suspension/setting you will immediately notice it and it really helps reduce the fatigue in the hands, wont feel its necessary to hold the steering wheel so tight.

I installed mine and I love it, I have coilovers and aftermarket rims with wider tires so maybe I can tell the difference more than those with stock setups.
My coilovers have pillowball mounts which transmit vibrations to the steering wheel, and the Damper helped alot get rid of some of those. Also when taking hard turns the effort that you have to put in is a little bit less.
Its so cheap that I dont see why nto get it. It can only do good to the car

here's the verdict. Like every ones been saying.. the steering wheel doesn't feel as loose as before. I do noticed, less vibration while driving on the freeway. So.. for $26 it is worth it

will this correct any slight shaking or vibration caused by things such as spacers, unevenly worn tires, missbalanced tires etc?

Hey guys sorry to bring up an old thread. but the very first post says to get the IS-F damper. Is there a difference between the ISF damper or the one sewell has up for the 250s? Im gonna order tonight. Thanks

Edit:Okay i think i get it now. When the OP originally posted his thread sewell wasnt providing it for the 250s And they just started selling it as a kit with the screws for the 250s COrrect me if im wrong. Thanks
