i got m and m honda engine damper aswell as the front top strut i installed it 2day.

im still using stock engine mounts

After the damper installed the car felt better taking off and changing gears. car doesnt hop as much aswell

Well on my DC5 i had Js racing and I didnt have this clunk noise.

I think something is installed wrong, or the ETD has put strain on ur mount causing it to stuff up.

But i cant say till i see it in person.

i just uninstalled the m and m honda engine damper and still left my front strut on and the noise rattling problem has dissappeared :| is there a certain way u have to setup the engine damper correctly ?? isnt it just the case of installing it in and tightening it up ??

it didnt come with instructions?

For my own curiosity, the EP3 runs Mcpherson/Double Wishbone like the DC5 correct?

If you want to have less engien movement then stiffer engine mounts or inserts will do a better job.

Stock mounts are terrible

mate i think what u said is right because b4 when i was driving with the engine damper on i could hear weird noises when cornering

haha i think it may have upset the engine mount. Guess there is no need for it now for ill probably just get some innovative mounts sometime in the really near future
