engine mount inserts
hey. i was maybe going to get some engine mount inserts when i swap the h22a in. just wondering if anyone has installed any and what were the results? did you notice an increase in shaking or anything? oh, and what kind did you get? any comments would help, thanks.

you can get one for 3 out of 4 mounts.
the driver side (timing belt) engine mount does not have a poly-urethane insert available.
i have the "torque" set, as energy calls it. its the front and rear mount inserts.
they are fairly inexpensive
and i did notice a firmer feel when launching

I use the prothane ones on mine, there are definitely vibrations that you can feel, no shaking though. The car feels much more solid, love em.

yea there is definitely more power feedback thru the frame of the car. it doesnt shake though. it just feels tighter on launch. i think they definitely help launching at least a little.
