It helps quite a bit with wheel hop. Goes really good with harder radius rod bushings.

When the engine moves it takes away momentom from your drivetrain aswell. It's also good if you have a linkage type shifter - shifts will be more percise. You'll also notice that you can chirp you tires alot easier.

want to replace all the bushings on my car, i can't wait. screw the vibration, my prelude isn't a family car. just need to save up for the kit and the rest of the mounts. don't they also make the side and tranny bushings?

don't worry about those. they're not in a torque position. just make sure they're not torn and are in good shape.
