Ok! So i have both mounts on, and have gone for a test drive!
All i can say is, if you've done the front mount, take the time to do the rear.. There is very little engine movement..
There is a little vibration in the car in these instances:
1)While starting the car, only imediately, then is gone.
2) If idling and the RPMS drop around 750-700 ish (my car does this every once in awhile, but to the best of my knowledge most cars have a slightly fluxuating idle) and
3) when first accelerating from a stop, if being very conservative, you feel vibration until about 1500 rpms, basicly once you start moving, its gone.. so its only in first gear obviously. I didn't feel any vibration while driving and shifting through the rest of the gears..
And now, the fun part!
Want to Launch? I mean a real, nice solid launch? take it to about 2800-3000 and go! a little spinning of the tires, and you're off.. No wheel hop. None. The front of the car doesnt lift nearly as much either. There is a much more positive power delivery feel.. Any of that "sloppy" feeling that was there is gone.
Anyone who is thinking about filling your mounts, and you care about performance... DO IT!
I'll follow up in about a month and let you know how they are

Yeah, it was pretty easy, just need 2 sets of hands for the rear mount. Some nice long extensions for your socket driver... the only 2 sizes are 14mm and 17mm.. If you have a ratchet wrench, you will save yourself a lot of time on the rear mount.
I put a jack with a 2x4 on it under the engine.. Then you just remove the bolt that goes through the front mount, then the 3 17mm bolts that hold on the cross member..the front mount will drop right out.
Its easier to get the rear mount if you remove both the bracket that bolts to the motor, and the motor mount that hooks to the frame of the car.. Then you just wiggle it down by the flexpipe on the exhaust. With a few twists and turns, you're home free.
The setting time for the 2 part urethane (60 shore) was probably about 15 hours total.. I waited about 30 hours just to be safe, and so far, they are holding up great.. It really changes the way the car takes off.

it's nice...so i put jack(with 2x4) under the engine block...i remove the nut in Front support...then i remove the 3 bolts that hold the crossmember...and then i remove the bolts that hold the rear support directly on the engine...NICE
im ok.....thanks a lot

im ok.....thanks a lotIf not, then, HEY, no problem!
If So, then eat it.
it was not....im from quebec so english is not a familiar language for me..
2st I have read how-to for FMM and see that it's exist two way to remove it...1. by unbolt the mount itself 2. by remove the crossmember...I just wanna be sure the two ways are right!!
