made by place racing. it seems that the mounts have set, and the initial vibration is gone and there is only some when starting the engine and when idleing sometimes. but again its nothing to scream about. since the engine in major tided down, the car actually handles better. i don't think anyone with a high performance vq engine, would object to these. but i can't say that for stock cars,if you enjoy the luxury ride. they make driving a snap. a snap of the wrist. i am not sure if these can be done in the driveway since some of the work is done from underneath. it may not be worth it, but i wouldn't put it past anyone, young and enerergetic and determined. i seen my car on the lift, when my tech was doing the install. and i believe they do use an engine lift to jack up the engine. i'll get some more info for those concerned about this.

Cool!

If you don't mind, how much did you pay for them? And where did you get them? BTW make sure you let me know your track results "good or bad" . Thanks

Did these mounts help reduce/eliminate the wheelhop experienced on hard launches?

hp

not dynoed yet, but about 300+. at the crank. they say a 13.3 should have about 345. but i don't think it's that much. more like 315.

what motor?

i STILL have the stock engine.vq. downpipe and exhaust, are a great power adder. if a chip was available from jwt i could get a smaller pulley. because i would have to get a higher flowing mafs, to accomadate more boost. and without the chip ,the high flow mafs won't work.(or something like that) 95's can do it. i will wait for jwt's bolt on cams. 26 hp.
