i use energy suspension motor mount inserts.

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.

You guys with the inserts, have you been stopped at a stop light with the air condition on. I took mine out because the whole car shaked. And I mean shaked.
