Wanna stop wheel hop? [come on in]
Ingalls has the item for you!
Ingalls new "Stiffy" torque damper is a elastomer shock that mount via 7 gauge steel brackets between the engine and the chassis, reducing or eliminating power robbing movement improving off-the line acceleration for your vehicle. The "Stiffy" has hardened spherical rod ends, aerospace grade fasteners, 6061-T6 Aluminum body and an adjustment range of 6.75" to 7.2".
- Greatly improved off-the line acceleration.
- Reduced wheel hop.
- Improved vehicle stability.
- Reduced shock loads on driveline components.
- Smoother shifting.
- Reduced wear on exhaust system joints.
- Less vibration transmission to the driver compared to polyurethane dampers.
We have a 7thgen Promo on this item through the end of the year for $167.00

I priced both these items at honda at less than 20$..
the other option is to cut the "rib" part of the bracket...
this is what most the people are doing..
Have your customer contact me about this if you want..

Rep Power: 0 Hey guys!!! ok here I am to help you set the record str8.....
fits 04-05dx lx ex no prob unless you do a k swap(working on that kit since my g.f. is getting one in her 04 wot wot)
In regards to 01-03 with manual and abs there are some SLIGHT issues...
The power steering resivour is on the strut area for the bracket not allowing it to fit because of clearance issues with the line..we tested my g.f's and researched whether there was an issue after calling honda and they stated it was the same from 01-05 ( last time we call the honda parts people at the local dealership cause there is a differnce obviously from the 01-03's with abs than the 04-05's)
here's your options guys....
1. You buy the resivour and bracket from honda for an 04-05 which kicks it back a couple inches...less than 20$ in parts.. I will post the part numbers when I get a chance....thing about this is you have to "bleed" the brake system...
2. MOST COMMONLY.. take the resivour off the bracket and then zip tie it off somewhere in the engine bay while either removing the resiviour bracket or bending it..
3. You can modify the strut bracket by either cutting off a 1/4" of the rib(might be a strength issue over 250hp) or folding the rib over so it fits snugly under the brakeline housing. No big deal modding the bracket.. you have to do that if you run a DC or mugen strut tower bar which from what I understand you have to do these things to make certain upper strut tower bars fit...
Can someone on here put me in contact with a mod that would be willing to do a review specifically for a 01-03 w/abs that does these modifications....
In regards to the pic Chile shot there is not an issue with what he circled..the brakeline coming out of it will be snug against the line which I would put a piece of rubber against or around..
feel free to email any ?'s

we unfortunatly were made aware of this issues as of last week and the part really hasn't been out for to long..
put me in contact with the member that had these issues cause I did a search on here and didn't find anything..
