Energy Suspension Motor Mounts

Has anyone on this forum have their factory motor mounts replaced with Energy Suspension motor mounts? If so, was the fitment good since they have to be pressed in? Thanks!

I had mine pressed out for $40 dollars. I put them in myself, not that hard with the lube provided and a thick piece of wood.

Its really firm with lots of vibrations at first, but they loosen up a little over time (either that or I just got used to it)

prevent your engine from flopping around like the stock ones

1) Eliminates virtualy all wheel hop.
2) Crisper shifts. When the clutch engages the car moves forward faster rather than twisting the motor around.
3) Judging from the construction these things should last forever.
4) Increase vibration, especially at idle. Not really noticeable when cruising. They actualy break in after a few weeks and are very pleasant. You would notice it if you went from a stock car to one with the mounts. If someone just gets into the car they wouldnt notice anything. The Maximas are very smooth to begin with so a slight increase in vibration leaves you with a car that is still smooth.

Overall these mounts have been one of the best mods I have done. No regrets at all other than not doing it as soon as I got the car.
