No. IMO it would put stress on the mounts

I only know one person that has one of these and inserts in all of this mounts and he said he loves it. I don't know about reliability though since he only had if for a few months and only drove his car at the track once with it installed. He said it was his favorite non-turbo related mod on his car though since it makes it that much easier to shift b/c it controls the engine's torque movement so well. But I wouldn't get an ebay knockoff b/c you can get a name brand one from one of the sponsors here for the same price. I think they are NRG?

Anyone have actual experience with this type of product?

They do help control engine movement, but I've had a hard time trying to justify putting it in my race car because it adds weight.

I have heard of a few people running these. But they got the quality ones from Ingals. Supposedly they used them to get the effect of stiff mounts but without the vibration.

yah, But the inserts dont allow for alot of movement,
I'm not saying the dampers do, but its kinda like a real hard shock.

But the ingalls say they are sopose to help with weight transfer, how is this done?

Is it with where the damper is located? or just the fact that it helps stiffen it up.

Thanks, Later
