After changing my mounts, the engine and trans are so much smoother! Admittedly I have only been up the road and back after trans rebuild.
Cars are meant to be driven to their performance......... If a car is just a way of getting from A to B to you,
get a Prius ;)

Yea she's a manual. I agree mate what's the point of having power if you don't use it now and again :)
I managed to get a black forest industries stealth set from dub addiction in aus.
Noticed a huge difference once fitted tightened everything up but without all the vibration of hard mounts.
