UPS rang the door bell!!
And this is what they brought me!!!
I bought them from IMPORTIMAGE, btw Thank you!!
I will start the install this weekend. The sleeves on these bushings is massive and thick and unlike what some other people have experienced, the sleeves fit nice and tight inside the bushings. The quality of the bushings is awesom and they feel hard.
Cannot wait to put them on the car!
The Powerflex I bought include the lower mount, two sides and rear dogbone, the bigger of the two. I dont think Powerflex makes the smaller one yet.
Anyways, I'll let you guys know when I put them on the car. Can't beat $184 shipped!!!!

I gotta start someplace, right? 
My shifting has been crappy since day one. I installed the SS clutch line on Saturday and i felt the difference. So now its bushings.

The Powerflex units are the best designed motor mounts for the EVO that I have seen. There are several others on the market that are just flat out improperly designed. The center pins are the key. They should be just a little bit wider than the bushing so that when you clamp down the bolts all the clamping force is on the pin. The pin then rides on the bushing, just like if it were a bearing.
With some of the others out there you are clamping the mount directly to the poly bushing material because the pins are flimsy little tubes that don't even extend out as far as the poly. . . this does not allow them to move freely and contributes to the horrible vibrations that some people experience. . .

Can you pleaseeeeeeeeeeee put in the front lower mount and drive around and then do the sides? I've been debating doing the sides but no one has really posted up that the sides add or reduce vibrations except for vendors.
I just want to know if the sides really cancel out the front...I did the front and got a small vibration, I hear the sides cancel that out but I want to hear that from a regular member on here rather then a vendor.

I am planning to do the install this weekend. Ill post results.
Speaking of install, do I need to raise the engine up, with a jack, to lift the bushings? I read someplace on EvoM that It facilitates taking out the side bushings.
