I’ve ordered these and cancelled my ducktail @Fensport was very helpful helping me make this change, I’ll report in before and after.

@Rich , happy to know you had great support from @Fensport 👍. Looking forward to your report and feedback and report. How long will you give it before you fit them?

It will be after the car is run in and then when I think I have a feel for the standard car so it may be a while but I want to give them a fair assessment.
 
Interesting. So instead of making everything stiffer and more rigid to torsion, the dampers are allowing small movement in a very tight measure. Vibration and shocks are reduced but chassis feels more solid in a natural way. I like the idea.
 
Ye quite a lot. But I know these from snow mobiles. The yamaha ones with them handle far superior to the ones without. So maybe worth anyway.

Yamaha snowmobiles have damped strut braces? That's interesting, I've never seen that.
 
I'm still not sure what these are meant to achieve. Are they just meant to soften the ride a little while not totally removing too much rigidity? Interested to hear how they feel.

I think the idea is to improve stability in fast corners with poor surfaces and to reduce nvh in general.
A lot of Lexus cars have them to be sporty yet somewhat subtle.

 
Please write some kind of review later on. I was always interested in theese. I put TRD strut bar on mine a few weeks ago ;)

Initial impressions are positive with the dampers, it’s subtle but it does feel less fidgety whilst still being as sharp with turn in and steering feel.
All this is based on some good fast road driving yesterday, I will keep this thread updated as I get more miles under the belt with these fitted. (y)
 
Any updates on these and if they eliminate the front end humming noise!?

That is a seriously floppy car! Be interested to drive a car with these and without to see if the difference is obvious. They must do something if they are attached and make a noticeable difference to the snowmobile
