This past weekend, I put front and rear OEM mounts in, ES torque inserts, and an ES shifter bushing. The difference these things make is unbelievable. Anyone thinking about getting the ES inserts.........DO IT! I do have one question to anyone else who has put in aftermarket mounts (inserts). Is it alot louder inside your car now. Now when cruising on the interstate, my car is alot louder inside than it was before. Just want to make sure its not something else. Thanks

I just had mine put in last week too and yes the car is definately louder inside and it vibrates alot more at idle. they did make a difference. Everyone should do this cheap mod.

I've found that the vibration really isn't that bad. The noise inside my car is music to my ears, but its gets kind of annoying on the interstate especially since I don't have a fifth gear anymore. My shifting definately feels alot tighter now with the new bushing. Next up....... short shifter:cool:

I have the motor mounts all the way around and there is some noise but I turn up my stereo ;) . I have the master bushing kit and full motor mounts in my car. Others here in Tampa have ridden in my car and all I hear is good things. For me I love it as the car feels more responsive all the way around.

After installing my torque mounts I noticed that using my rear view mirror is almost impossible . Objects are pretty fuzzy on the interstate.

count on 3-4 hours. The dogbone isn't as hard as some people make it out to be, but make sure you have a vise(spelling). The firewall mount is hard to get back into the metal bracket and get the bolt holes lined up and the two mounts near the wheel wells are pieces of cake. I had a little trouble with the liquid filled mount because the holes in the new mount were a tiny bit smaller than the mount that was in my car. We had to drill them a little bit bigger and then it fit in no problem. Just use some creativity and have patience and it shouldn't take you more than 4 hours. Good Luck
