motor mounts are great! your feel the car run solid! only downside it the vibration at idle but i dont really care about vibrations.. water injection i cant wait to try those myself

**UPDATE**
just got back from having my motor mounts installed. install went really smooth, and i am very happy with the way these mounts perform. there is no more shaking when engaging the clutch from a dead stop. when revving the engine, it doesn't move at all in the engine bay.
the only downside is the vibrations. after a 20 min drive home from japtrix, it feels like i just did 10 laps on a mx course, riding my buddies 450. you can really feel the vibrations through the steering wheel, gas petal, and seat.
the value of these mounts is great. i paid $45 for the parts, and $100 for the labor on the install. now compare that to $175 for the speed source mounts alone. also don't forget the fact that you get a transmission mount as well with the energy suspension mounts.
all in all, one of the best bang for the buck mods out there. thanks again paul.

ryans car here has the mounts and at idle the car shakes bad with the AC on! haha but if you have a stand alone its no problem! jsut raise the rev limit to 900-1000rpms and all the shaking is gone!

This is interesting. I know most of you guys are turboed. But would you still suggest these for an N/A setup. I am sure its much better than an ETD in an N/A setup but i need to ask.
