Looks nice.
Will have to test one to see how it does
I would like to see a picture of the side dampers. How long are the tube you can grease up?

Also. On some proto pictures I have seen, the H plate are removed and replaced with a swivel mount.
Will this be released in the future?

Do the side dampers use the same compression springs as the double spring main damper? 2 - MR2162 sets are required? I would guess you recommend a light T-plate when using this setup?

Can these be used with any mount, or do you have to use the PN LCG/FM mounts?

It looks like they are pod specific. You could fab up a new outer damper mount or adapt the supplied one to work.

Can anyone post pictures of how this attaches to the mount? Also, how much does this add in weight to the setup (not including DDS plate)? It might be good for a modified class, but I dont know how much it would help for stock class.

One thing that this should help a lot with, is taking or adjusting tweak out of the car (or into it if you want).

You need the MR2295 mount. If PN is going to sell the long damper arm seperatly you should be able to use it with the V2 mount too.

The side damper plate will attach to the long damper arm. There are two holes on either side of the center damper post.

Yes "2" of the MR2162 spring sets are what you would use to change your side to side tension (kinda like changing your tbar).

There are a few ways to use this system. You can use it for strictly side to side dampening purposes only. Meaning you can dampen your side shocks but NOT run any springs and use your tbar for side to side action and a top shock for front to back action. I use the new PN fiberglass plates (#4 usually) with orange side springs and Team Associated stealth lube in the side shocks. I set the preload adjusters so that they barely touch the springs at ride height in full race trim. If your car doesnt turn enough one direction, turn the opposite side preload adjuster to increase tension. (EX: My car doesnt turn enough to the left, crank preload in the right shock)

The biggest difference between the TDS and a DPS is the lack of stiction. DPS systems have a LOT of surface area which causes stiction. The pod will almost NEVER come back to center by itself with a DPS, the TDS allows it to always come back to center, making it straighten up quicker on exit and making it more nimble through chicanes.

Anxious to see what all of you think once you get it strapped on your cars.

What about the swivel mount instead of T plate seen in the proto pics? Will this be released later on?

I thought I saw this on Maj's car in few months back by his work bench so I thought it is nothing new?

The Swivel was the prototype version for 98mm setups. Not sure on a release.

The side shocks are about 3/4" compressed, the diameter of the shaft is pretty beefy so once you put some grease on it, it dampens it quite nicely. I will post pics of what it looks like on my car in a bit. But in the meantime here is a pic of Phils car from the TEKIN race.
