omg i just drove to school in the rain and i must say this is the best mod anyone can do to their IS

the steering has almost no jitter anymore going over bumps or uneven surface
the steering feels tight and solid this is how the car should have came out from factory
all my complaints about the steering of the IS is gone ... its just THAT good

if you haven't done this mod yet
DO IT!

 

Where do you guys buy yours other than Sewell, would the dealership have this?

 

sometimes i wish it was even heaver. maybe i'll superglue some pennies on it

 

as long as you have the correct part #, i am sure your local lexus can other these parts for you.

 

i ordered mine from lexus of westminster. Kerry, the person who helped me, said i was the first one to order one, so he put in a few more orders along with mine. So if your close to lexus of westminster, give them a call, they should have extra in stock right now.

 

you can get weights soldered on to your wheels... i might do this when i strip my steering wheels apart

so this isn't the placebo effect? just because you think it should a feel a certain way will make you think that it really works?

im in!

 

my friend who didn't know i installed the damper.... realized that steering was a little different.. less vibrations and a little heavier... the heavier feel is not 100% noticeable depending on how sensitive you are

All these great reviews also pushed me to get one! I'm currently waiting on mine...

 

its definately an improvement. but now after a week of driving with the damper, i've gotten used to it and can no longer feel it haha. its just like upgrading to a faster car, at first it feels really fast, but once you get used to it you think its normal.

 

I just ordered it

So is it just that one screw (torx 30) to open up the steering wheel? Just unscrew and pull the front part off?

 

theres 2 torx 30 one on each side... you have to pop off 2 covers one on the left.. one on the cruise control stick

If you're retarded like me and didn't know how to take off the airbag connectors, you need to pop out the yellow tabs in the middle. The easiest way is to slide a flathead from where the wire goes in. Then wiggle it up and it'll disconnect.

 

Thanks

You have to disconnect the airbag? I thought you could just slide it in... no?

 

Yes you have to disconnect the airbag...
because the wires have to be thru and under the damper
