Default relationship between es bushings and vf engineering pendulum mount?

these are an either-or, right? that is, if i swap back in the stock rear engine mount, then i could then swap in the es bushings, correct? are there other bushings (e.g.,for the side engine mounts) that get replaced when switching over to the es ones?

thanks again

Default Pendulum mount bolts the tranny to the subframe >>>

and stabilizes the engine/tranny quite a bit compared to the rubber bushings in the stock mount.

Another option is to replace the rubber bushings in the stock pendulum with poly- ES, Turn2 ...

Engine mounts can be seen from the top (our motors are kinda suspended) and those you can replace the bushings on. Some good info with pics on the install process on the Turn2 site-

Default yes either/or, ES bushings replaces bushings in stock mount

VF mount is a complete unit that replaces the stock mount and bushings. VF makes side mounts for the engine also but that will make your ride even harsher. I think kodeTT has them.
