motor mounts DD
I will be installing the black AMS front motor mount bushing and the black Energy suspension Rear Diff/Mustache bar kit in a couple of weeks, I will report back with the immediate results. I'm curious how it will turn out, I had some pretty stiff mounts in my MS3 and the vibes weren't really the problem, it was the extra noise from the drivetrain.
please do ! seems like a lot of people do the front MM and rear diff bushings combo.. im curious on how it feels too, as the rear diff bushings i hear help with the clunk at WOT shifting, but adds extra whine at a certain speed though ..
just fitted the torque solutions front MM on.
first impressions: notice a slight vibration in the steering wheel and general noise of the car is slightly louder.. but nothing to deter this mod by any means. tbh i only notice the slightest of NVH. gear throws seem slightly smoother and less wheel hop although i am did notice some clunk/wheel hop to still be there at WOT.. am already thinking of side mounts + rear diff mount bushings ~
but all in all a great inexpensive product !

Just got my car back from the shop yesterday. I had the shop install the black AMS front motor mount bushing and Energy Suspension red bushings for the rear differential. There are no noticeable increases in vibrations, maybe if you're paying attention at idle you can feel something in the steering wheel.
There is a slight increase in engine noise in cabin, I actually like the sound though so no complaints. You can occasionally hear some whining from the rear diff but it's not consistent, nor is it high pitched. The drivetrain overall feels solid, there is still some movement but it doesn't feel like it's sloshing back and forth anymore. I can't tell if clutch engagement is affected, it's a brand new ACT HDSS and I'm still getting use to it grabbing like it does.

after having mine in for a couple of weeks now i def notice some more vibration, especially after the cars warmed up and at idle (torque solutions front MM). it does shift a lot better and feels a lot more solid although i feel it could do with a bit more but im afraid to rattle/shake my head off haha! i hope these break in and calm down soon lol!
