Stillway Dampner Installed! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

WOw. Just installed it, took it for a drive. Got it from Gruppe-S. Got a gunmetal one. BEST CUstomer service! Highly recommended. I wish I live in Kali so I can visit them sometime.

After install, shifts so well it feels like I was shifting an S4. BEAUTIFUL! I can bet I got 1 whp after installing this...LOLz. For around $200, it's well worth it!

Pix up soon!~

my weapon-r caused too much engine vibration into the chasis (seat/steering wheel/etc...) so I took it off. over time it will shake the heck out of everything, including you! I really didn't like it.

a) It makes the engine shake less when shifting. U know how when u shift, the engine will shake and with this, shifts are so smooth and you dont even feel the clutch engage. It feels like u rev-match perfectly every single time which is hardly possible. When I upshift, you should match the rpms with the next gear so the clutch engages smoother. I got 30K on stock clutch, stock brakes, stock rotors.

b) you dont have to take the cam cover off but u have to take that line next to the cam cover off to access the two screws. I installed it in the rain and it was easy. The instructions SUCK! Pictures were blurry but it's a no-brainer. I'd like how the package arrives with japanese newspaper. PURE JDM

yeah. Weapon-R is US company that makes "wonderful" products that are usually disposable after a few months of use. Stillway is a Japanese company who makes quality stuff. I'll do another write-up after a few months and see how this hold up.
