I have to search my source for a p/n. Stay tuned, but expect to pay at least $85 for one. Last one I auctioned went for $90. At the risk of sounding like an ass here, If this is a Ford part, why are you auctioning them off? Just tell us poor shmo's the part number and be done with it.....

The reason Stazi is selling them "auction style" is they are very hard to come by and no one seems to have any clue as to where to get them. Stazi I don't think is getting them straight from Ford, he has an "aftermarket" source  I got the other one, but unfortunately won't be installing it for a month or so since I'm still building my motor.

RickMakes sense to me. I was thinking they were just 2002 Cougar dampers we could pick up ourselves. Sorry if I offended.

I already called Bill J. about the new cougar dampner and his part numbers haven't been upated yet. So, if Judge and Aussie are the only guys that can get it, sign me up. I'll pay $90, cheap insurance if you ask me.

Strange though, the Y2k Cougar duratec damper is only $45 - so maybe this (I'm guessing Mondeo) damper is somewhere in between?

Well, last time someone took the PN to a dealer they got a regular damper...so Ford is depleting their stock of regular dampers....the only way to get them is through Stazi or from Ford Europe...

Damn, I quit bidding on the last one at $85. Well, I'll try again - I am in for $85 if you get some more..
Judge, would you expect this damper would make a 7300 RPM redline "safer" than the stock damper?? Basically, are the harmonics the major barrier to safe "mildly" higher RPM (I am guessing at even >RPM (say > than 7500-7800) valve springs & rod strength would become issues as well s

We do not run the vehicle that far out (stock ECU in test vehicles as far as that goes)........so I am not going to venture a guess.....but if it were my car I wouln't do it without total balancing and the upgraded bearings.....

Understand Judge. Can you tell me this- with the new damper (in the tested rev range), are the harmonics issues pretty much resolved with the dual mode or is still alot of room for improvement? I'm trying to get a quantitative feel for how much better the dual mode is / is it worth the effort?? Thanks..
