Default Energy motor mount insert(searched)

After reading 300+ post ,i just want to confirm that is there any vibration and how bad it can be. And the other thing is does it help to improve top speed driving (180km)my car feel like unstable on high speed may be suspention too stiff.

It will cause increased vibration but it's not to bad to me. For some, it maybe too much though.

You get used to the vibration pretty quick. It's not a big difference if you already have an exhaust and/or intake, but you'll notice it.

It will do NOTHING for straight-line cruising stability.

Same here. The vibrations annoy me sometimes. But I just close the windows and turn the music up. No more annoyance

You've read over 300 posts, so you know the answer to this question already.

No, motor mount inserts will not improve top speed driving, which I presume you are doing on a race course. The only thing they will improve is wheel hop. Sounds like you need an alignment, or more likely, to slow down.

they will not help top speed. lol

They will help alot for keeping the engine from moving and wheel hop. But wont cure all of it. You need pretty much all of the mods to help the most

Yes it vibrates. And Yes I loved it. Nothing like seeing a lopey ITR at a light with its mirrors rattling. lol. People used to look at me like i was strange. lol

Once again I did not understand what you said...

For $300 you could pick up a traction bar set up and install it yourself.
I picked my Z10 bars for 300 and had a friend install them cause he works at a local shop that has a lift and air tools.

and them top them with some Prothane uppers and its even better.
then add some traction bars and some really nice shocks and springs and stiffen things up and its unbeleivable.

I, too, was worried about the vibration. But I got them, installed them and to my surprise, barely noticed the vibration.

ferrari huh? its hard to compare a ferrari and a honda becaus:

well ferraris cost 100x as much

the engine is mounted behind the seats in a carbon fiber "bucket"

and well hondas use 3 little sissy mounts to hold an engine in the car, check out how ferrari mounts engines, its just a little different

There is a difference Ferraris were built with utmost performance in mind. Hondas werent ness built for that.

If you cant deal with a little vibration, then dont do them. Simple as that.
They arent that bad, but it will rattle and it will likely shake your side mirrors and rear view mirror a little.
You add the uppers and it will shake more. But you get used to it.

If you have loose change in the coin tray or ash tray, then yes they will get on your nerves becuase you will hear them jumping around like mexican jumping beans.

Dont lie. everyone knows you cant hit vtak in 5th. Its a Honda, there isnt enuff highway to get these pigs upto that speed.

Pete who could get from 0-vtak in 5th in about 4 seconds due to tremendous traction problems. But oooooooh all the pretty smoke.
