ive had mine installed for about 2 weeks now and it is stiffer, its a little shakier at idle and it takes some getting used to.

Last one is pending sale tonight. I do not plan on buying red bushings but I will be doing a group buy for the next batch so I can hopefully run a larger batch...and will have to buy bushings anyway. At that point, you can tell me you want red. Most people wanted black and any that I stock outside of a group buy will be black.
179.99 will be the group buy price.

Gr1m, did you notice anything else besides idle? Is it worth the vibration difference over stock?

Did you install the rubber pads under the mount where it meets the frame?
I am wondering if the air struts combined with a stiffer mount make any difference as far as vibrations are concerned or if the broken strut was part of the problem?
I am running the stock suspension and the only noticeable increase in vibration is at a stop light with the A/C on, which I noticed even with the stock mount. The vibration is very minor (the wife doesn't notice it) especially with the radio on and if I switch the A/C off, it immediate goes away due to less load on the engine.

mine is noticeably more shakier at idle, i have intake headers/exhaust done to my car with an air ride so im sure that contributes to it as well

you can really notice the difference if you are making, say a U-turn while giving it gas at around 20+ mph

I did not install the rubber pads beneath the mount, and I really did not notice any more vibration........of course, I have had a poly/aluminum front trans mount for years so maybe I'm just used to it.
Awesome product, and it is very pretty.

I've been sitting on it for a while.
I had everything apart but I couldn't budge 2 of the bolts (I hope I didn't cross thread them when I changed the belt )
Got my impact gun out, but I didn't have an 18 mm deep socket. I do now.
Hope to do this this weekend

/\/\ The only way I have seen people really cross thread the motor mount is when they don't have the engine jacked up to the right hight and raise the motor basically with brute force turning the bolts.

I just ordered a second mount for my project car. I was told that they are in stock and ready to ship!
The shifts feel much more crisp, the handling in corners feels a lot tighter and over all the car feels more responsive. I have also noticed that wheel spin is almost non existent on hard launches. This is a nice improvement for any car and will fit both the 2.4L and the 3.4L.
