See I was going to get the Motor mount inserts but i heard a lot of the vibration gets transferred to the dash and I dont think i could put up with that. My cars a daily driver I dont even want to know how bad the vibration is with solid mounts.

I just picked up the NRG damper, at least that will help some.

I have one and I love it.
I think it's great mainly because I can remove it when I don't want my dash to vibrate like it's having a seizure while sitting in traffic.
But I can have more of a solid mount feel while on the track.
