I just put in mine last month with the "race" bushings and I love it. And this is my street car. You can buy just the 2 lower torque mounts or you can buy the rear mount as well. I bought all 3 for $125. One of my favorite upgrades. You get lost of cabin vibration but you actually feel you motor working...dunno, kinda hard to explain but I love them Jim also shipped them super quick. He gets

I have the same three mount setup in my EG w/no carpet, insulation or sound deadening material
I can't stand it.
Too much for a daily driver.
I am putting the stock mounts back.
I am a hardcore racer, but I need to be in my car for 2-3 hours at a time and those mounts are impossible.
On a racecar.

The Jimfab mounts are great. I have a set and reccomend them to everyone. They are stiff, but bearable.

Jimfab offers 3 mounts, 2 front and 1 rear.

Here is a small review I did a while back....

I forgot to add another side effect.
After about 1000 miles, the vibrations loosed up four tranny bolts on my Spoon tranny (never been opened from the factory), I lost enough fluid to burn up two of my synchros.
Since then, my tranny had to be rebuilt and the bolts lock-tited back on.
So think about it for your daily driver tough guy!

I thought JimFab offers two different compounds ? He did with me at least. He informed me the race compound was WAY too much even for the most hardcore street guys. I took his advice and went with the softer compound.

I haven't installed mine yet, but will give a review when I do.

man you pay $125 for 3mounts from Jimfab?

you can get the Prothane uppers and ES lowers for under $100 for everythng total. that is the best bang for your buck

i had a set of 3 jimfab mounts 2 front, 1 rear, in my last car.. there was some vibrations but after a while the mounts did get better i think.. if you dont like the vibrations from them dont get them cause they can get a little annoying.. im going to get another set of the jimfab mounts for my new car once funds are there for it..

btw, i installed poly inserts into the stock mounts and the jimfab vibrated more but i think they did a better job..
