ES motor mount inserts Feedback???!!!!
Ok so i just picked up my car from having my ES inserts put it!! Its like a different car! I knew the old ones were shot but man this this is great! But i do have a few questions and i assume both things are because its a stiffer mount so there is no softeness to absorb the vibration! ONE...when i start the car its like i can feel it throughout the car. TWO when its at idle at like a light i can feel the vibrations...is this common cuz of the stiffness? does everyone feel this or is somethin not right??? Thanks..Goob

^ +1. I love the ES inserts and I would do it again if I had the chance.
REDUCED, but not eliminated my wheel hop and improved the overall feel of the car.
And yes, the vibrations do seem to go away after a while, but I could have just gotten used to it.
One of my friends with a 5.5gen with stock mounts got in my car and noticed that it vibrated more than his, so I probably just got used to it.

Welcome to your new normal. Hope you like it.
Whether you like the new vibration or not, it's undeniable that solid poly mounts are a fantastic performance mod. It completely transforms the car from a luxury(ish) 4-door sedan into a 4-door sports car. Hmm, where have I heard that before?
Don't know so much whether it softens out over time, or you just become accustomed to the vibrations. I'm thinking the latter.
It made my wheel hop rare when running 16" steelies and snows. However, with the 17" factory rims and Eagle F1's, my wheel hop is completely gone. If I accidentally break loose at the drive wheel (no LSD), the car stays level now; no bouncing. Based on that observation, quality tires go a long way towards addressing wheel hop.
