Default stfa already regarding Drivetrain Stabilizers and after reading previous posts is it safe for me

assume that the snub mount is just as good? if i got both would it be repetitive? does the dts help with handling? i have coil overs and 19 mm sways right now. would i feel a large difference? oh and which dts do you guys recommend?? thanks

Default most with DTS say that they can feel a noticeable difference

and going with both the snub and DTS will not be a repetitive thing.

I believe the snub mount is more for engine slop, while DTS remedies drivetrain slop.

Default I have one. I definitely noticed a difference, moreso in the shift feel than anything else...

Some people say they don't notice any real difference, so it may vary between vehicles. I also have a snub mount, but have thus far been too lazy to install it.

Default Yes, but isn't the whole great thing about the DTS is that it gives a more rigid attachment

between the transmission and the chassis? I'm not talking between the engine and the drivetrain, but rather about each separately.

Default i see what you mean. snub does too though.

it seems like in general when people do one they see a huge improvement. and when they do the second they don't see as much improvement but still some.... no matter which they do first.

i think this speaks to the similarity of the symptoms they alleviate, relative to their differences (more of the former, less of the latter).

Having both probably tightens things up a bit more than either alone.
