Would much work be required to get something like this to fit?

Has anybody tried fitting something like this?

If you want a side mounted damper it needs to be 460mm long

Would you really trust it for that price

can you picture it sticking on a bend if not fitted right

that would be fun

Ive been looking at a steering damper, I'm not 100% why, apart from experimenting to see if it improves the ride. I don't get any vibration (much) through steering and so can anyone "sell" the idea to me?! Also, whats a normal price to pay? Ive got Hyperpro front and rear springs now and their steering damper is about Â£160 if I remember. Is this about right?
