FluidDamper....worth it?
I keep seeing advertisements for the Fluidamper balancer.
It says it really smooths out the drivetrain.
Does it work?
How much and how hard to install?

I'm sure they're better than the stock balancer, but I didn't notice much if any difference. I wanted it to help quiet the rattle of the dual disk clutch but I don't notice a real change in that. I'm not saying they're not worth it but depending on what change your going for determines if it's worth it for you. I got mine cheap (less than $200) so I'm not as disapointed with the end result as I would be if I had paid full price.

You can't go wrong with a Fluid Damper (or equivalent) - like roller rockers never hurt either! 
... but I think an aftermarket harmonic balancer is especially useful to cancel out the CTD's notorious vibration from being transmitted to the G56 if you have a non-dual mass aftermarket clutch installed.
Otherwise, it's a useful luxury...
