Energy Suspension Vibration??

[FWD98GST]

I know that ES will add some sort of vibration if I decide to replace my side motor mounts with these inserts... My question is.. How bad of a vibration?? If its really noticable... I'm just going to stick with mitsubishi OEM side motor mounts and don't have to worry about vibration...

Feedback please....

if you dont have a problem with the motor mounts you have now dont touch it. stay OEM

you barley notice it after a week or so. I say do whatever you have to control the wheel hop. I still have stock suspension and will just burn the crap out of my tires instead of hop since I have replaced all 4 mounts with the prothane kit. I am going to do the entire prothane suspenison bushing kit (minus the one the RRE resommends not to install) and do some shocks and springs this summer. maybe a Quaife. Ummm.... quaife

I just did the whole prothane kit, and was warned repeatedly that it would "rattle my teeth out". Not even close. I barely even notice the extra vibration, but I DO notice the huge difference as far as wheel hop (or now almost complete lack thereof).

to my knowledge the energy suspension inserts are only for the front and rear mounts

Everyone I know that swapped motor mounts (they all used prothanes) said it reduced wheel hop to pretty much zero when launching. A lot of people don't notice the vibration. Now with a balance shaft removal and some nice mounts, your carseat may double as a massage chair.

You are correct. I installed them on my car and there is some noticeable vibration. Not lots as it doesn't bother me but it's really a matter of what you can tolerate and how tight your car was before you put them in.
