Hibiscus Red S4

I had my timing belt/water pump etc (ECS tuning ultimate timing belt kit) installed while I was away on vacation. The water pump was leaking (I didn't know) when it was inspected (73,500 miles). I also had an APR snub mount put in. It definetly smooths out shifts a good deal, and you can tell that the motor just doesn't move as much. The shifter is creaking like a banshee though...I just greased it up last month...any permanent suggestions?

have to admit that I have not noticed a difference yet. Was able to drive the car over 100 miles after the install but never really felt the snub mount improvement. Maybe I'll try to concentrate on this.

I'll post later to see if I feel any improvements.
