No performance gains like suspension mods, just better feel and handling on your end. It's just so inexpensive it's worth trying and my suspension is fairly stiff, but I don't think I experience nowhere near the vibration or complaints that others have reported.

Mine came in, but I'm missing the screws. So I'm not picking it up yet.

Default Damper installed

Installed my damper this morning. I'v got the stock suspension w/ stock 18's. I would have to say for what it does it's definitly worth the $30. Cant say my steering feels any "heavier" but there is a definite noticalbe decrease in steering wheel vibrations. I've heard others say they dont have any vibrations to begin with and I was thinking the same thing before I installed it but it does work, kinda feels like my moms old LS400 she had years ago . Just thought I'd share my .02

just installed my steering damper over the weekend. I had previously thought I had no vibration, but after the install, i could feel an immediate difference. you will notice it and driving fatigue goes down noticeably

Best mod ever for 30 bucks you can't go wrong
i just installed this and when i pulled out of my drive way and turn on to the street i already notice a difference

the steering is immediately heavier.. and its the good kind of heavy .. it just feels so much better .
like other have said i thot i did not have any vibration at first either but after this mod steering wheel is so much stable ..
no more steering wheel jumping back and fourth when you hit uneven surfaces

Installed it over the weekend. Gives the steering wheel a good feel. I like! Worth the 5 cheeseburgers I could have got instead. Hahaha
