Yes, I have them, I broke the driver side mount 3 times before getting the Prothane mount inserts. Definately worth it, the driver side mount is prone to breaking.

I also have them but have yet to put them in. I was planning on doing it the same time i throw the turbo on. Ive already snapped the driver axle with wheel hop. I hear this eliminates alot of it or atleast helps. But im wondering about how bad its gona shake in the car. They are worth it though correct?

inserts eliminate alot of wheel hop but not all. i would recommend getting a torque damper for the motor also. i have both of these and i have no wheel hop at all and thats with 350hp

Yeah they are good but they dont really protect the Drivers side mount. They will be much harsher than stock as far as N&V but they do work well for what they are. I have heard of people running like a hasport ek-&gt;b-series mount on the drivers side with the pro-thane pass side and rear. His car rode well and it wasnt as harsh as a 70 series hassport full kit.
Hope that helps

As a performance perspective, it's very worth it. It eliminates wheel hop as well as better power transition between shifts.

As a comfort sense, it sucks ***. Your car will vibrate like there's no tomorrow. Every panels in your car will squeak.
