I have the Energy Suspension mount inserts there the lower torque mount inserts. Energy Suspension doesn't make the upper inserts only the lower, but Prothane on the other hand makes the upper inserts. There alright I guess but lots of vibration in the dash and inside of car at idle.

I got the Energy Suspension and I like them. They pretty much eliminated the wheel hop. I also got the Energy Suspension full bushing kit and I like that too.

Definate for the ES, but I did notice a big increase in the dash rattling. Also, you feel the motor more at idle. But where did my wheel hop go?
WORTH IT!

Hey, how do you like those jimfab motor mounts? I'm in the market for engine mounts too. Was considering the prothane inserts.

The Jim Fab's are real nice and real stiff. If you can take some vibration at idle you will be fine. You can buy the ES mounts 2 considering these are a tranny, lower mount, and rear mount. You can use the ES for the upper timing belt side mount and upper tranny mount. Combined these 2 should really help stop wheel hop.
