Default For those with a snub mount-Did it make a difference?Would you do it again?Is APR the only maker?...

I am going in for my 60K service and getting my T-belt water pump etc done. Since they are going to be in there I figured I would have a little something done. Correct me if I am wrong, the snub mount replaces the front motor mount only? Did it make a difference in shifting feel - good or bad? Do they last as long as engine mounts, or is this another item I am going to be replacing? So many questions...I STFA but found nothing conclusive!

Default I didn't notice much of a dif but I'd do it. That + a DTS = very noticeable! I launch alot ....

so I did the snub b/c it takes the recoil and shock better to the frame.

Default I installed the APR unit ... it made a difference.... A few manufactures make a similar product

I also installed the AWE DTS. The snub has great bang for buck value.

Default As opposed to the APR one?? I have the ASP DTS and was thinking...

about going the Snub route as well, but can never decide on which one.

Default Might as well do it if you are doing the TB/WP. Cheap upgrade. To be honest, though...

I didn't really notice a difference when I added the snub (Vast) after my TB/WP. I already had a DTS on. The DTS helped immensely but the snub didn't make much difference that I could notice. Still, it's cheap so why not.

Default I just put a APR snub in but haven't driven the car yet. As I understand...

If you don't have a DTS, there is a huge difference. Infact, there was a post on here w/all movements on the trans measured and it compared very well with the DTS in performance. For $50 bucks, seems like it's def worth it, even if you do have a DTS, IMO.
