I have tried both single and twin damper plates and have found it easier overall to use the twin dampers. With just the one, you have to use really, really thick stuff in it to get the same effect as the twin setup ( and I mean really thick!). I will get one of the side shocks from the AE car also to try and hopefully that'll be easier. Fibre Lyte in the UK cut out the chassis and parts for me and they have a number of differant types of carbon. I just like the look of the cross weave stuff so that's what I got them to use. Cheers pal, Chris.
