without the bushings where the mount attaches to the frame, might cause excessive vibrations...
<img src="http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/products/zengineering/z_pendulum_sm.jpg"> I've got APR Stage 3 egnine mount inserts for the pendulum and you can notice quicker shifts AND slight increased engine vibration and noise (now not buffered by the soft rubber OEMs any longer).

It depends... I think changing out the bushing is adequate, but if that little extra firmness in the
engine is going to make a difference to you, then it MIGHT be worth it. There are plenty of companies that offer polyurethane replacements. I'd go that route instead, much cheaper too - usually about $50 for a set.

im using the autotech poly dogbone bushings
to help reduce block torquing. cabin virbations arent noticeably different.
install takes about 10, 20 minutes (the bushings are hard to get out sometimes).
