Default Motor Mounts

I got these from Nurspec. Great deal. They are inserts so you just pop out you mount and insert these into the gap. They do the job. Just a little vibration when your idle drops low. I just installed the front. Took 15 minutes. I had the Ingals damper but it was a joke as it is insanely noisy. I think I paid about 40 for the front mount inserts. Also the inserts for the tC do not require those zip ties because the insert is held in place by the motor mount bracket.

So did you just install the fronts, or the sides, rear and tranny one as well? Did you notice a difference in wheel hop, heavy accelerating or heavy braking? I've been meaning to pick these up for a bit, wanting to hear some feedback thats all.

Well so far they have been called "cheese" and "cake". Can anyone provide some feedback that's actually meaningful?

lol.. can i say theyre strawberry? Strawberry cheese cake.. lol

theyre soo easy a caveman can do it! just look in your engine bay, right below the headers on the subframe that goes from the front of the car to the firewall its sitting right there, just disconnect crossbolt holding it from the right side i believe, get under the car, and remove a total of 4 bolts, (2 have a cover plate, then 2 underneath the plate) and use a jack to tilt the engine back... (if needed) the front mount should slide right out. then repeat the process backwards for the new one... can anyone check if ive missed something?

I only installed the front. Hard to tell exactly how well they will perform around here because its still to cold outside for my Falken RT-615s to hook up properly. So far so good.

there is vibration, so if you like a comfortable ride, i wouldnt suggest mounts. if you want performance enhancement... its definately worth it. what kind of driver are you?

the only vibration i get is at idle, and a bit more with the ac on at idle, but while your driving its not that bad. If youre going boost, its def a great mod... IMO
