Default Energy Suspension motor mount inserts?

Do these really help with wheel hop? How does your car drive after they are installed and are they worth it?

wheel hop? i dont think motor mounts have to do with wheel hop, depending on your car the problem for wheel hop can be from your lower control arms. Those mounts are stiffer then stock, and work fairly well. MAD engineering used to use there inserts on there A/M mounts, and worked awesome. wish they were still in business.

yes they do help with wheel hop, it keeps the motor in place better...then again wheel hop could be from a number of things (yes i used to suffer from it)...and yes ive had experience with them, theyre nice, a buddy's car felt more responsive after the install, vibrates a bit but i liked it...its my next upgrade

i love 'em, and couldnt go without them and stock mounts back. there is a bit of vibration, but knowing that when you drive hard or shift quick or just shift in general, you notice the difference. i say get them, you wont regret it.

for energy suspension

Stronger mounts are definitely better. More vibration will be transferred from the motor, but it's more than worth it.
