Lower the tire pressure or get z-10 radius bars.

Feathering the clutch will help but not eliminate.

I just bought a Z10, it's still sitting in the box, too cold to go out and install it. I will know in the spring if it works, I will post the info then.

Energy suspension motor mount inserts for the rear tranny mount, the lower right and left, help a huge amount. They do give you a tad more vibraation under normal driving, but well worth the trade off.

If you've ever taken off those lower motor mounts, you can understand why stock, they;re basically worthless.

Hey, for $25, it's at least worth a try, right????

Later guys,
Aj

I agree that urethane engine and trans mounts help your launch, but the vibration is unbearable to me, maybe because I'm too old (32). I had them on my Talon, and it drove me insane, my ears would itch from the vibration. I know Hondas are better balanced but I won't take the chance, unless I'm runnin race only.

The only place I noticed any additional vibration was in the steering wheel at idle, and then, only a very small amount. Besides, for $30, if they bother you too much, ditch em'.

Later,

Aj you have a good point, the money wasn't the issue though.
I ended up putting all stock Mitsu mounts on my Talon, nice and smooth.
I hate to disgrace ITRCA with mention of DSM, but it's just for reference, I only drive DSMs in the winter, when they deserve to be driven.
