Last weekend i installed Ultimate Racing's Engine Mount Insert set. They sell them for front and rear and i installed both. For me they were a good choice because i dont have to have take the car to a shop for install. They are inserts so dont have to use a press. What i notice right away is that the shifting and power tranfer after shifts is amazing!! i think is good for anybody that does road race once in a while (like me). The bad news is that the vibration from the inserts bothers my GF. i like it but she hates it. So this weekend i took out the front inserts and only used the inserts for the back. The shifting is still 100 times better then stock. My GF also likes it now so everybody is happy

What does the engine mount do exactly?

 

please post sound clips / videos.

 

restricts engine movement, especially upon accel/decel, to create more immediate response, eliminate torque steer, and such

 

torque steer on AWD??

 

just speaking in general terms regarding engine mounts. although it can be said that there is still a very slight amount possible with awd vehicles depending on the setup

 

So for a hundred bucks you get better response? that's better bang for your buck than the Sprint booster!!!

 

+1 for a huge shift feel difference, no more basketball effect. rear might be overkill.

 

How hard was it to install? You don't have to take out the whole engine do you?

 

no you dont~
the front is real easy
but the rear is pain in the ***!!

 

i know this is a bit old of a post but im raising it from the dead because i am totally curious as to how the hell to get them in the car, if you could post pics on how these just slide in and out please let me know and i will purchase them right now. See my impression as soon as i seen them was forget that i had to move the engine to put em in, but knowing you do not may just make me purchase them if you can let me know how to install the lil guys, atleast pics or something on em. PLZ and TY!

 

pics !

 

+1 please!!!

 

with sugar on top!

 

i will try to take pics when my car is up for oil change next week ^^
