i needed mounts because the power level the car has was making my downpipe hit the steering rack under throttle. i adjusted the factory mounts forward to give me more room. this worked until more octane or cold air occured, then the added ponies would stretch the mounts far enough to hit the steering rack again. so VF it was. i figured i've give them 500 miles or so. the dogbone i barely felt 6 months ago. but it did quicken up shifts under power. the addition of these new guys were vibrating like crazy!!! i then realized i had independant tension on each mount. meaning, since i was playing with clearance of my 3" downpipe and steering rack, i moved the mounts independantly of eachother. so i fixed that and the vibration went into a much more livable state. i'm supposed to wait another 1500 miles before giving a thorough review, but what the hell. the car feels amazing on the gas. there is abit of vibration felt when going mellow, but again i'm supposed to wait those miles. the drivability is SO much better and quicker now that i just can't believe i dealt with those squishy mounts. i now can leave the mounts in the factory position and the downpipe clears the rack. i will see if it gets smoother and might just install their new washers that make them softer. but that might not be needed. all in all, if you want the quickest power after each shift or on and off gas situation OR you're going stg III...GET the mounts. saves a breath of weight too.

 

I have one available if anyone wants it...i loved mine

 

There is more vibration but it seems to be slacking as I put miles on. Do you have Driverside
mount? Will put that one on when I do the clutch.

 

TT at one time with a lightened pulley and it shook the car like crazy. i recently took the pulley out and replaced it and it helped alot. the shifting is more sure, feels quicker with less motor movement. right now, i only have the pendulum mount and one side mount in...thinking about going back in and putting the mount i took out again.

i had problems looking out of my rear view mirror since it shook so much...and also at idle, my steering wheel was shaking so much it was crazy. they won't really settle in much more...unless you take the preload off of the mounts. that helped me alot. remember, they're poly bushings...what you have is what you get.

 

I just had to replace the bushings because they were super worn out...

 

they do vibrate the rear mirror. i'm popping those pullies off tonight!!!

 

also, loosen the motor side and re-tighten together with tranny side. i did one side one day and one side the next.........and that's how i got the pre-load in them.

 

required hardware! needs to be properly installed as some cars "shake, rattle & Roll"

 

good luck with it. it will help balance out the motor a little. i think my whole car shook so much that now, i'm hearing loose creaks and noises all over inside the cabin. change it as soon as you can, otherwise, you may have to tighten everything on the car afterwards!
