ES Motor mount inserts installed..

Well, these are my honest thoughts on these inserts.

-When starting up the engine the car makes a lot of shaking movements.
-At idle there is a slight vibration
-Engine is def tight in place
-No more rocking back and forward from the engine.
-Going up a hill in a higher gear results in a lot of vibration.
-1st gear is easier to get into.
-Feels more powerful due to more traction.
----------------
I would suggest these for those who don't care about vibration's and can live with it. I also heard the vibration get's a lot less to the point where You can't feel it because the mounts break in. Cost me $150 to get them pressed in and installed. Not sure but I keep hearing that they are going to make noise soon? Like squeeking noise.

New things getting installed in my car less than a week: (Will take pics soon)
-NEW Brembo slotted rotors
-NEW pads
-NEW passenger side axle
-NEW (cat) o2 sensor
-NEW Tranny mount.
-New P-Zero 235/45/17 Tires for my rims.
-Finally the rest of my mevi completed.

Pretty penny for everything. But Will take pics of everything.

I could hardly feel any difference in vibration when I installed mine, but it was less than a week after my turbo install and I was still getting used to all the little noises and vibrations from that. I would have to honestly say that now with a 1K miles on the mounts I can't feel a thing

Well Im sure for those that have FI, That they might get wheel hop just because they create more power then just a maxima that has I/Y/E. I haven't put them through the test just because my tires are bold and are about to go, and I have a bad passenger side axle that can give in at any time. I hope its true of what they say and that these mounts have to break in and when they do ill be even more happy

my friend had solid motor mounts in his neon, and you can feel every vibration and movement that the engine should be having is being transfered into the cabin
