Hahaha, true. It just baffles me that sewell wants $12 for shipping... I can't believe it. I'd rather get the item 2 weeks from now and save on the shipping then spend $12 and get it in 5 days. LOL
I know I'm a jew

Any time I order from Sewell I make sure to bundle in some other stuff as well. Oil/air filters, gaskets, spark plugs (just hit 50k miles so that'll be next purchase for when the time comes to do 60k service), etc... It makes the shipping cost seem more reasonable.

Thumbs up should have been stock

installed mine. it just gives a more balanced feel. there is a difference between heavier and stiffer. its definately heavier but in response the bumps that move your body side your wheel isnt flopping around as much.
It makes the steering wheel feel like it is actually turning a car that weighs 3600 lbs not an elantra that weighs 2000 when flooded.
i went back road drifting and its just more confident.... to me at least i don't get the feeling like i'm over steering with the vsc off on a hard turn .
worth the $30 bucks!!! cheapest lexus "mod" ever... now for the plugs tomorrow

To my knowledge our cars don't come from the factory with it. Only the IS F comes with it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Our cars never came with a damper, their stock on the ISF thou which is why we've been doing this mod... my question to you is, you thought you were gonna replace yours? with... a different one?

Lol, i guess i haven't read the full thread ,I saw a picture of two different dampers on the thread one biger than the other and I asume thats why everyone was replacing the damper the biger the more stiffer the steering . Upssssss! Ok well im glad I got it then lets see how it feels.
