Woa, I've seen the word Dampers thrown around before but it is the first time I've seen one in action. It looks like something I would be interested in putting on my machine once it is done.
Is the point of them to help the steppers to not loose steps by giving it a little torque support? If you have any additional infor and their prs and cons I'd really like to read about them.

After adding dampers you might consider raising the power supply voltage to 36-40 volts, that will increase rpm about 30 percent.
Changing the screws to 2 start would double your feed rates.
