Motor mounts will give u better results but they are kinda hard to install and more expensive so i suggest go with the engine damper.

Use "Search" ..... there are many threads on this topic.

Just doing the front mount makes a big difference, and the install is pretty easy.

I've had the NSC damper and solid motor mounts. The NSC damper was easy to install. The top didn't move as much, BUT the bottom still moved a lot and still had wheel hop. The solid motor mounts much more effective at putting the car's power to the ground. Don't get an engine damper for reducing wheel hop. Get or make your own solid motor mounts; they will keep the motor much MUCH more stable. You'll be a lot happier with the solid motor mounts, like I.

it would be nice but it doesnt fit. at least not on the oz/ls... es owners are welcome to try since their suspension is closer to the mirage.

IMO Deyeme is the way to go whether it's bought through RRM (assuming they still sell DMR mounts) or direct from DMR. Travis at Deyeme is easily one of the nicest guys in the game, plenty experienced, and their prices are very reasonable. The rear is a little annoying to install, front takes 10 minutes. Search for install info.

RRM no longer sells DMR mounts.
