Ive heard good/bad things about them. I was once told with motor mount inserts your car will idle hard with some shaking and what not. Who knows good luck

the stock mounts are supposed to limit the amout of vibration to the passenger compartment, of course stiffening them will transfer more noise and vibration, learn to live with it if you want better handling.

it is designed to reduce wheel hop, if it doesnt then you have to look at spring dampener settings, as they are allowing the tire to rebound when it should be planted, get the inserts, play with settings (koni yellows etc..) and tire pressure, even on a radial play with 12 - 20PSI see how it goes, their is a lot more involved then the insetrs, if you need to go further there is the radius rods from Z10 eng., or comp. eng, or chassiss eng.

Yeah, a friend has the Z10 radius arms and he stays planted on hard launches. He did not think they would be as good as they are. I highly recommend them!

Vibration with the mount inserts isn't all that bad.
In fact, I don't even notice it anymore.
I'm only running the front two though, cos the rear one is a bitch to get to.

Well my car idle hard, as in the steerwheel would shake(You'll get used to it). I also bought the first gen inserts that didn't have the zip tie things with it and they vibrated themselves out(one into the A/C pulley). I had to goto Home Depot to get monster zips to keep them in place. I'd say they were okay, but didn't solve my wheel hop, I'd say a good set of springs and shocks would cure the problem better. Then step up the the radius bars. I know not much of a budget saving, but that will cure your problem(s). Later Allen

well im hoping they do something , they werent ver expensive, but im hoping they at least help a bit .i cant get this thing to launch at all without hopping the tires. even on street tires, they hopp like hell between hard shifts.


damnit . . . . . i need a sponsor . this is getting expensive. i was planning on not even touching the car this year .i already just ordered the mount inserts, blow down tube. saftey blow off valve, msd cap, msd plug wires, msd dig 6, msd blaster ss, upgraded to single fogger wet kit , and a **** load worth of jets, new lines, goodwridge fittings, gutted it , ripped out the whole ac system and not even on the dyno yet to get tuned . .i either need a sponsor or a better job.
