Default just installed esmm, now get a torque dampener?

ok so i just installed the front esmm

i didnt install the rear because i heard that adds too much vibrations

right now i think this is about as much vibrations as I can handle lol

i believe they will die down a bit after a day or two or "break in" eventually?

i'm gonna try and grease it better and put a little bit of my leftover sound dampener where i feel vibrations in the cabin and

possibly try and put some sound dampener near the mount bracket( i dont know if this is a good idea??)

overall i'm very satisfied with the front only esmm my car feels great to drive.

should i get a torque dampener also? will it add even more vibrations? i don't know if i can handle anymore

if you are worried about vibrations then sell your car now and buy something you won't modify....

ditch the ESMM and buy real mounts BTW

LOL i knew one of the OG's on here would flame me for getting esmm

i know getting mounts is better but i needed a cheap fast solution.driving with a esmm(in the front mount only) is better than driving with the front mount torn. if i get the dough of course im getting real mounts

i'm gonna try greasing the insert with lithium grease i have laying around and maybe itll help the vibes

More lube won't help with vibrations lol.

Just man up and deal with it.
