Default Thank goodness for VF engineering mounts...

Had a bit of a mishap trying to see if the speedometer dial could go down anymore past 160. Sorry about the lossy pic. Seems to be a bit more smooth after the install of the new VF's. Anyone out there using these? Also are the tranny side mounts worth it?

Default Polly allright - Bound to happen.

Don't think stock mount can handle the torque. Car is finally where it should be, well almost ;-)

Stock mount does tend to snap.

Default i just received mine yesterday, will be installing shortly. kode has 'em

he reports that the pendulum mount is awesome but that the side mounts introduce too much shake (so far).

Default the pendulum mounts is all you need...unless you want more vibration than you can ask for.

i have the VF engineering mounts all the way around...but will be taking off the side VF mounts next week. the rearview mirror still shakes the steering wheel vibrates back and forth and whatever was loose, is now making noise all over the place.

the upside is that the driving is tight...seems all power is delivered directly with no engine slop. getting it into all gears is quick and positive. I don't feel that the vibration is worth it...since it is my daily driver and sitting at a stoplight is excrutiating.
