The dampners were tuned to the car's "frequency" and factory suspension setup. They mentioned that if you adjust the suspension (i.e, Stiffer Sway Bars, Chassis Braces, coil over suspension), you have altered the vehicles "frequency" and could possible negate any of the benefits of the Chassis Dampners.

Again this is what was explained to me by the guys at Nissan Motorsports.

I don't know if it's that tightly bound to the original characteristics of the car. I mean it's just a gas tube that when compressed reacts oppositely to the speed of the compression. It's like a coilover that has different low-speed and high-speed bump behavior. This way when going over small bumps the car doesn't seize up, but when leaning into a hard turn the chassis is rigid.

Damn, that means it probably wouldn't help most of the cars on here then, would it provide any benefit at all then? can the damper be tuned i wonder

Any guys running this with a big FMIC, just wondering if it gets in the way of it or piping.
