reduces wheel hop and engine movement, keepin ur axles better aligned with the hubs and such.

For a stock car there are little to no gains. its intended for higher-hp cars whose engines torque alot and need additional stability.

do you feel a lot of vibration with these like you do with aftermarket motor mounts?

somewhat, if ur car is not pushing more than 300whp then its just an arbitrary engine dressup item
