Looks good How noticeable of a difference is there? Both from a performance and vibration aspect?

Vibration is almost non existent.

Performance is a nice pickup as the car shifts a little cleaner and the throttle is more responsive.

usually in cars the motor mounts are made to give alittle bit for comfort. But this makes the engine move which can cause wheel hop, jerky shifts, and so on... I just but them on my '07 Ion Redline made a huge difference but alot of vibration on that car. Not for everyone. But I haven't ever had an Evo before so I don't know how they feel on it. But a must for FWD. Feel free to chime in if I got it wrong.

well the guy above you basically explained it. It causes a stiffer link between the motor and chassis.. Therefore, when you accelerate, brake, idle, etc the action get transmitted to the chassis with less play. This gives you better "feel" of the car more or less. I love mine. Btw, great job to AMS for cranking out some new parts so quickly.

The car is still very smooth it just a bit more responsive now and shifting feels more precise.

Is the installation as easy as it looks? Two bolts on the bottom and one through the middle right?

are there plans for other motor mounts in the future? really interested in these. they make you feel so much more connected to your car and throttle response. i had them in my dc5 and they almost change the tune of the engine (or what you hear) in the car

If you buy the pre pressed in mount the install is very easy

Yes, we will be making mounts for the entire car. This was just the first one.
