Weapon R 03-05 WRX/STi Engine Damper
The Weapon R Engine Damper is a precision-engineered solution that minimizes unwanted engine movement under load, giving you sharper throttle response and more consistent shift feel. By mounting between the engine and chassis, this damper absorbs motion that would otherwise be transferred through soft OEM mounts, especially under hard acceleration and deceleration.
Engine movement—especially front-to-back "rocking"—can cause wheel hop, misaligned shifts, and stress on mounts. The Weapon R Engine Damper combats this with an adjustable nitrogen-charged damper that can be tuned to your exact driving style and power level. Whether you’re daily driving or hitting the track, you’ll notice more direct drivetrain response and reduced shock load to supporting components.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the vehicle-specific mounting brackets. There’s no need for cutting or welding—just bolt it in and experience immediate improvements in power delivery, shift precision, and long-term drivetrain integrity.
