Yes. Smoother shifting. Less power loss thru old motor mounts (or so said) I had a lot of vibration at idle with mine. I removed it. I'll be getting the shock style one soon to replace the rx7store one I have.

Actually according to Lost Time who took his Feed one apart its not really a shock, it just looks like it.

if it was a shock it'd be pointless because you'd get the same problems only dampened a little bit. I do remember someone saying it looks like a shock but thats just styling.... like SPO said i think it was Lost Time.

I'd imagine the shock would help enough to please me...



Just a little damper at idle is all I want. Looks like I'm shock shopping... Make my own dammit. Only needs like a 1/4 inch of absorbsion...
