Just installed them with Atlas69.. and I must say well worth the 16 bucks.. this how the car should feel coming out of the factory. Definately worth it..I can feel the tranny connecting now and the power stays to the ground.. no more wheel hop either and DP rubbing..

Glad to hear, your dp doesnt hit or rub or vibrate anymore? I ordered my mounts Friday, so I cant wait to put them in. My car sounds and feels terrible right now.

YEa.. DP does not rub now.. no more noise at all.. worth every penny.. the idle is a lil bit rough.. but I think it might take some time for the mounts to work there way in.. excellent though!!

You just used the 2 pieces not the round middle piece everyone talks about right.

Where do these mounts go?
I have the Z-engineering dogbone mount. Which ones are the ES ones? How easy are they to install?

I got mine last Thursday and love it! You can now feel the engine and the shifts are way more solid.
P.S. I installed all three pieces.

Did you install all the mounts? How's the vibration at idle?

Yes. There is increased vibration at idle only but it's doesn't rattle your teeth or anything like some people have reported.

Where is everyone buying these at? Are there any "How to" articles on this so I know what I am getting myself into? Thanks!

Re: Energy Suspension Motor Mounts - Good (CuStOm)

Here's a how-to article. It's for the Autotech bushings, but the process is identical.

Re: Energy Suspension Motor Mounts - Good (dejay ynot)

We sell the autotech ones in our shop. So, I tried them. The shifter feel was great! The vibration everyone mentions wasn't bad at all. BUT, I didn't like the increase in cabin noise at all. To me is was like adding a pretty loud exhaust. Call me an old man, but I want a quieter car. So I did what I was thinking about before we got the mounts in. I made a .250" spacer to "preload" the stock rubber parts. I needed a press to squeeze the parts enough to thread the bolt back in...but other wise, no problems. It's not as good a feel as the urethane mounts, but it's a fair bit better than stock. And, I can't tell any difference in cabin noise over stock.
I gave the autotech pieces to a friend, and he loves them.

Re: Energy Suspension Motor Mounts - Good (Johnny Blaze)

Yup...I agree

Very cost effective for the buck mod

Re: Energy Suspension Motor Mounts - Good (waka)

The cbin noise has definately increased as well as a slight vibration at idle..the vibration though could be fixed I raised my idle like 150rpm.. is that at all possible?

Ditto. Where did you get them and how long did it take for them to arrive. I need mine by Friday.
