Well the mod bug is a fierce one. I just ordered another matching damper for the rear. As soon as I get it I will install it in the rear damper location and write a full DIY for the front and rear with parts, specs, and final tire shredding observations. Jim

 

this is some good stuff..

definately need to sticky this

 

OMG was this easy I dont understand I saw a old thread where you installed it on the strut and can you just replace what mods do I need which one is better the strut setup or the replacement of the old OEM??????????? TEACH MEEEEE

 

Wow, about damn time something "new" appeared on our CL's.

BTW, how did the install go? Did you can to jack the engine up to release any tension on the damper?

 

Oh, another question, I've been so out of the loop...

Does the install require any replacement of OEM parts? Or can you just simply throw it on?

 

So how are your impressions of it now that you have it installed?

How does it compare to the stock shocks?

I'm curious since you had the stock shocks from the get go.

Looking great though :up2:

 

The install and removal of the front damper took 10-20 min. tops. It uses the OEM rubber bushings and washers from the top of the OEM damper. There are also two more additional washers for the top of the damper as well as two nuts and one bolt. There is not tension on the OEM damper and they are not loaded like a shock for the wheels of a car. Simply unbolt the OEM part and remove. As for the stock shocks, they suck and I had a serious wheel hop prob.. The new damper is great and wheel hop is about 95% reduced with only the front damper replaced. There is none of the drama associated with the OEM damper.

 

Is this for a 6 speed or a auto how would I come about with a auto I cant seem to find the stock damper.

 

Damn, I don't have either oem ones since it was a swap. Thanks for the idea.

 

Chris What have you been up to?

Not sure if it would work on swapped cars seems that our mounts are a little closer and the holes are not the same at least it is for me you might be able to tell in the pics Siggy posted.

By the way Chris, did you ever dyno your car?

 

Installed the front damper.

I reused the bottom bolt.

The top bolt I used an M10 with 1.50 pitch about 4" long.

Install took about 15 minutes. The hardest part is taking out the stock top nuts on the existing damper.

Haven't really had a chance to test it because of the rain but it sure does look pretty in there.

I'll post pics later.

 

I am waiting on my other damper for the rear. After much testing, I think it will require replacing both oem dampers to eleminate 100% of wheel hop. We shall see. Congrats on the install Niteqwill

 

How much wheel hop are you still experiencing? I'm waiting on the one for the front to come in the mail...

 

very little. it is a huge improvement.

 

Got my NRG thingy in the mail yesterday. Gonna have it installed sooooooooon.

EDIT: I'll post up results as well.

 

theres on problem w/ an engine damper if you install it wrong. do not make it too hard, because then the car makes noise and theres excessive shacking.

 

I love when I do Excessive Shacking.

 

So Im looking to get some dampners for my 6 speed.. (wheel hop owns me) what to I need to order exacly? (link to site)..

 

Same... Part numbers or link would be greatly appreciated.

 

guys the link is on the first page of the thread. When you find a thread you are interested in, you need to read the whole thing before you ask a question.

 

I will make sure I get a set of these this spring when I start moding my 6 speed. A new cluth is at the top of my performance needed mod right now so i will get the kit then.

 

Did the price of these all go up on ebay? I can't find them for under $90.

 

So real quick before I order this.. I should get 2 of them one for the front and also for by the firewall correct? ALSO.. what year civic do I get or are they all the same? being that there going fpr almost $100 each, I dont wanna make any errors..

 

Wow, that sucks.. the fucker must have gotten alot of orders, so he DOUBLED the price !!

 

Fuck! I shouldve gotten then back then...... Now I guess I have to wait tilll the snow melts to get them installed

 

thats bull shit. I cant believe they upped the price like that. it does look like they are all 89.99 but that is the one you want. I have not put my second one on yet. when I do I will get it all adjusted and post. hola if you need help

 

I still need to know about what year civic dampner to get.. (I know Im quoting myself)

 

Found it on sale here for $60. Shipping is $14 so delivered at $74. Buy two and shipping is less. This place is still cheaper than the guy on e-bay:
https://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/sal...chpart/EDA-101

The one I got was NRG part number EDA-101T (T = for Titanium)

 

Here's another place that sells them for $60 plus shipping:
http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/...p?cat=311&js=n

 

^^ cool... I knew there must be some other sources for the NRG damper...

 

But does it matter What year civic part we get?

 

First page of the thread had this referenced:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=220066045756

 

Buy two and save freight

If you're in California, weaksauceparts.com will charge you tax.

 

really stupid question, but I'm new to this whole thing. Will this help a stock CLS-6? I'm looking for inexpensive mods (intake, etc).

 

This will help reduce wheel hop on take off regardless.

 

It helps a ton with just one but I think it will take two and some fine adjusting to get rid of 99.9% of it. I will install the other in the back of the motor soon and get back.

 

Just installed the front one, I got the 92-95 Civic EG one and a 3 1/4"(75mm) 1.50 thread. WoW what a difference. I used the extra inserts that came with it to replace the old soft bushing. Ended up being a tight fit with the taller bushings but it was worth it.
Every one needs to do this.

 

Just ordered a titanium one from horsepowerfreaks

I'm sure if it reduces wheelhop that much it'll be alot kinder on the axles.

Also did the local home depot/lowes have the bolt you guys used?

 

How bad does the torque damper make the car rattle??

 

it does not rattle anything. there is no difference from stock.
