I still love my mounts! ~450 whp. No issues after hard street driving, road course, and autocross. Slightly more vibration at idle but barely noticeable. No complaints or comments from any passengers. Get ya some!

I bought a set and installed them.

They did exactly what they advertised they would do - improve throttle response and make shifts crisper.

They also made a hum at 70mph that I found annoying. I have stock exhaust and I put my hard top on for trips because I don't like the noise of the soft top.

After 2 weeks, about 200 miles and one track day I put new stock mounts in.

I am selling the Vibra-Techs.

I installed Vibratechnics mounts the other day and so far I love them. I haven't taken the car up to 70mph so I can't comment on that issue.

I will however say that; the car does feel a lot more responsive, less movement in the engine which is a plus. The idle RPM could increase maybe another 50 - 100rpm to get rid of the slightly noticeable 'shake' which disappears as soon as you get on the throttle.

I definitely only feel a vibration at idle but I'll take it to the tuner and get the RPM raised slightly.

So far it's a 9/10 for me. I took a point off because the install was a little frustrating

It took me about two hours to replace both sides.

I found it much easier to remove the four bolts that hold the mount bracket to the engine and remove the mount/bracket combination than to try to remove just the mount. The nut on the top of the mount is very difficult to get to. The four bolts that connect the bracket to the engine are easy to get to.

Make sure that you tighten the four bolts to the engine last. This is specified as a very important step in the service manual for proper mount alignment.

I couldn't remove the front left side mounting bracket (4-bolts beneath the intake manifold), I had to drop the subframe slightly to get these mounts in.

I was able to remove the 17mm top engine mount bolt by putting a 25" extension or so through the 2 & 3 intake runners. I had to put the 17mm socket on the top of the engine mount nut first and then connect the 1/2" extension to the socket through the manifold. Just in case anyone was struggling with that guy.

I have these on my turbo ap2, I really like them. They really don't cause too many vibrations, I would say just a little bit more than stock. But they really do help secure the motor from moving better. I bought them used from the guy above who was getting rid of them but I'm pretty sure the best place to snag them would be from thier website.
