yes
It made a big difference rattle wise, but was worth it as far as shifts/engine movement

1) Starter is louder.

2) slight exhaust rattle when I don't give enough gas on a start.

3) minimal vibration through the steering wheel when at idle. This one im not completely sure about because my car vibrated before the mount, so it could be mental on my part.

4) more predictable weight transfer .... just sayin'

Funny you guys talk about a rattle from one mount. I have all 3 mounts done, and its so loud. I can hear the cam gears rotating during acceleration. But it feels great! The BLOX mount is worth doing for sure!

Ryan, its really easy. Just need to remove 3 17mm bolts holdign the support bar up, and the remove the 14mm bolt and nut that bolts the mount to the trans, and the whle thing comes off. Then there's 2 bolts holding the mount to the support. Remove that and install the new mount, using the new hardware. Reinstall. Just alittle more time if you have an undertray to remove.

why did you guys take the undertray for oil changes? the bolt and filter are not blocked by the tray?

i have my tray off but i feel like i need to support the bumper to the body for the snow.

ever back up over a mound of snow and have your undertray-less bumper catch and rip off? happened in my honda lol

^i was going to PC my rpf1s orange is I found a set of winters, but no dice there. looks good I like em, esp on black/white. tho a guy at the office has a black gt3 rs with orange wheels so may be too similiar. go for it!
