Wow, thats great. That thing was really stiff.
I may just buy the front mount, I already have prothanes on all of them now.
Hows vibrations?

Slightly more vibrations than all 4 prothanes at idle and no different while driving. The only thing that changed that I could tell is if you get too low in a gear (say, below 2k rpm's) the car will shake some when you try to accelerate and kind of "grumble" at you.

Kyle, you won't regret it. Especially on a FWD, the car is going to be so much funner to drive. The difference in traction is huge compared to poly mounts. And like I said earlier in this thread, my car actually has less vibrations at idle compared to when I had polysx4.

Check your carrier bearings too.

Those were my reactions from driving my brother's GST with the mounts, not my GSX.

Eric, when you drove Brian's car what were the vibrations like right when the clutch engages (stopped car)?

It is a little harsher than it used to be and it has a little more chatter but it feels more "solid". For normal driving I can slip it more to make it so there is no chatter but I have to slip it longer. With my driving style I tend to get off the clutch pretty quick (that's just how I learned I guess) so it almost always chatters for me. I have never really launched his car hard (before or after the mounts) so I can't comment on that part.

Just sent the money, and the mounts will be shipped Monday. I can't wait. I'm getting driver side and passenger side prothanes along with this, so I'm sure I'm going to feel a BIG difference.
I'll report back with pictures and a review once they're installed.

I think I'm going to jump on this. The rear motor mount has me not smiling due to the stupid slip ons not fitting. Can't afford downtime however. Would it be wise to drive without the rear motor mount? Obviously no launches or anything like that but cruising wise, would it be bad? I have the driver side and front Prothanes but still stock OEM tranny mount.

I wouldnt. Especially without prothanes in the tranny front and side mount.
Maybe if you already had a welded solid mount on there somewhere, but in your case it probably wouldnt be a good idea even for just cruising.

I have Prothanes on the drive side and front. Not the tranny though. I'm gonna give my fabbed up rear mount a try first and see how it holds up. If it crumbles, I'll need one of these.

I'm sure your best bet would be to just buy an extra set of mounts. And then ship off the extra set.
