mihela816 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 They are the best thing since sliced bread, but they are very noisy when new. It scared me the sounds they made when i first started it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90TGP Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I have them. When you first install them and take it for a drive, you feel A LOT of vibrations throughout the car. That's what the motor is transfering into the mounts through the bushings through the frame into the cabin. If you want the stiffest setting, just bolt them in with the poly bushings. If you want a lesser setting, take out one set of the poly bushings on each mount and install the rubber bushings from the stock mounts. If you want the softest, just install the stock rubber bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead43 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Got em on my GP.. See pics at http://www.cardomain.com/id/gearhead43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtk2 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 From what I have read on here. they really make a huge difference in stiffness and vibrations. I am thinking this will be one of my next mods...I really want a set. I have never seen a set in person (well I saw a 5 speed with the one mount before) but from what I have heard on here it makes a huge difference. I am sold, thats for sure.

90TGP Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 The poly bushings pop out pretty easy. The rubber ones probably can be bought at a parts store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 yeah ive heard about the vibrations, but how bad are they?? are they violent as to where they shake the whole car, or are they not out of control but still noticeable. how long does it take for it to lessen. But yeah ive heard alot of good things about them. Im glad i bought em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90TGP Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Your car will shake for a couple days when you first install them. It'll feel like your car's about to come apart. After, say a week of driving, they'll settle down and you won't feel them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead43 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 The vibrations aren't bad... Mostly you'll be able to "feel" the engine idling in the steering wheel more. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 That are G R E A T. Car feels alot stiffer. You feel the vibrations especially at a stop...it feels great, like you got something real big under the hood kinda. I love 'em! You can see mine in my sig.
