Lookin good! Where did you bought that one and how much did it cost? I just got my new 06 S3 and it definitely needs steering damper. Cheap life insurance if you do a lot endo's.. :razz:

Just been out for a test-ride... she seems to handle better.. much smoother through the tight turns on my favourite road...

Loving it !

Looks a lot cleaner than it is ! !

Gouged up the outer leg clamp bolt.. just on the old over-tighten.... never know when to stop.. infact I managed to do it with my torque wrench.. easily drilled out if it shows any sign of movement...

It's a lot better than the LSL damper that I tried previously, I had the one which attached to the rocker cover, you have to use lock stops with it.. which I am not happy using to be honest...

The Matris is perfect for the job... feels great !

Carpimoto also sells the entry/mid level M3 & M4 dampers in addition to the top spec M4R, when price is an issue.
