Default ES torque mounts installed

Noticed my torque mounts were pretty much shot when i changed my clutch a few weeks ago.
Ordered ES torque mounts from suspensions.com for $41.

Just took it out for a drive and its a huge difference! Ive only installed the 2 front torque mounts. It came with a rear mount but im debating installing it or not.

Impressions: slightly more vibrations when i first started it up, and my exhaust is louder from it resonating through the car more.
Clutch feel and shifting is a lot more predictable!!
My stage 4 clutch shattered when engaging before, now its very minimal.
Engine movement its considerably less.
Everything just feels more stable and predictable.
Simple install.

The old mounts are 10 years old now, so they were deffinitely due.
Best $41 i've ever spent.

did you have a chance to look at your rear engine mount? when i changed mine, it was shreded, even worse than the lower mount on the tranny.

i replaced it with a hasport. when i took out the original, all the rubber around the steel insert for the bolt were complete separated. when i was driving and let off the throttle, the shiftknob would move back and forth a lot. i ended up replacing the lower ones with oem with es inserts...

the tranny was out of the car at the time, the drivers side mount was still in and the upper mount was loosened. i went in from below the car.
