i have one of the engine torque dampers fitted and i have to say its a great piece of kit, well worth the money

it helps make the car more responsive as the engine won't rock on the mounts as much when u put ur foot down

The prime example when they make sense is on Nissan s13's. The mounts are weak so they tend to torque like mad in first gear taking off, making for a difficult shift into second gear.

Not so sure about the point of it on a GT to be honest..

defo get the engine mounts, the standard ones go and it'll just end up damaging stuff, the engine damper is a great addition aswell
