I like mine. Works well. I think some people are not feeling it is incorrect adjustment. I got mine to adjust just right and shifting is much better.

And the OEM engine mounts are fluid-filled, so I'm not sure what you are asking for.
So then there are no motor mount inserts available correct?

I have moved up from B-series honda engines and have experienced benefits from the motor mount inserts...

Good guess but actually you spend as little time as possible with your hand on the shifter in a race car; just to shift.

So it's yet another "it works on X so it must also work just as well on an S2000" product. Great answers, many thanks!

If it doesn't make my car faster, lighter, safer or rule compliant then it doesn't go in or on my car.
I was trying to say the S didn't need it lol

The way the engine mounts are built, there are no voids in the rubber to fill with urethane.

I was actually thinking about these today... This might be a stupid question, but my car rides pretty rough do to my suspension setup, and sometimes if i hit a bump at lower speeds it will transfer the movement to the throttle pedal and foot and make the car do the chugging throttle movement back and forth. Nothing severe as the look of someone who is learning how to drive a manual transmission, but just a bit annoying. Would the torque dampener help to alleviate this?

If your car is bouncing around so much you can't keep your foot on the throttle then you have other problems you need to address.

A engine damper isn't going to fix wacked out spring rates and too low ride height.

Its not bouncing around, its just really really stiff so if I'm taking a turn slow and dont really have much pressure from my foot on the throttle when the car hits a bump it will hit my foot and make it jerk slightly... hard to explain I guess.

If I take a turn and have more pressure on the throttle it isn't a problem.

Im just wondering if one of these dampeners would help the situation

If you are referring to me, my spring rates aren't wacked out and my car is not too low.

I am on aragostas off a spoon race car with swift springs.
