nat ive been looking at dampers for a while, for my lux, from all the searching that ive done, i read that most tough dog stuff is pretty average, and that the efs xtreme steering damper is a really good product, but they only make them for patrols and cruisers
hope this helps you out bud

I was not happy with my tough dog RTC dampener, mine did no more than 1500ks on road before it dropped its oil
a friend of mine had the coil shatter on his. I put a factory GU dampener from the wreckers in its place, I find it works better.
