Just lookin for advice from those who have done the install themselves. Im pickin up a set tomorrow cuz there only $25. Thanx

Dunno if I can give you installation tips because my friend, works at a local Dodge service station, installed them for me. He installed both front and rear. If your gonna install it yourself, I've heard the rear one is the pain in the ass. I do can tell you this, after he installed them, I popped the hood and rev my engine and the thing JUST STAYS THERE. It would not rock back and forth. Also, the car feels A LOT more torquier. The vibrations weren't as bad though!!!! Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I've got the energy suspension front and rear. I did the front today in like 15 minutes. super easy, didn't even have to jack up the car. If anyone here has put the rear one in, I have a few questions about how they got to the rear one....

The rear is a mutha. I have a set sitting in my closet. I thought, hey, $25, cool... Naw. You can do the front in about 15 minutes, it's right there in front. The rear, well, i'd say the easiest way to get to it would be to remove the battery, intake, washer fluid reservour, and maybe the EGR pipe just to make it that much easier.. Then you'd at least be able to see it. Get a really long etension and maybe you'll be able to unbolt it from the crossmember and knock it loose. If you've every got a free weekend, give it a shot. Worse you can do is strip some bolts and break a few off in something important. Do your 95's fuel filter while you're down there :-)

Yeah front insert is easy, I could do it in my sleep. I looked at the rear and well... I didnt even try it, I knew I didn't have enough day light. I'm going to take a shot at it when I install my ported/polished intake manifold. While everything is out I think I can get at it... if not I'll wait till I do a clutch... or... pay... some... one... ugh that hurt to say.

okay, I did the rear mount this morning. it took about an hour from start to finish. Email me if you want pictures, I'm workin on a website but who knows how long till thats up.

anyways, here's what you need to do:
take out the battery, take off the plastic tray from underneath it. the window wash resivoir is held on by two bolts at the very top, take those out and un plug the clip at the bottom of the resivoir. take out the two bolts that hold your brake fluid resivoir and unclip the plug for the fluid sensor. You'll have to turn the resivoir kindof sideways to get it out, but it comes out pretty easily. I didn't feel like pulling off the hose so I just left it hooked up and set the resivoir on the valve cover.

you should be able to see the motor mount pretty well by now. all the bolts are 14mm, Instead of removing the actual mount itself, I just took out the three bolts that held the bracket connected to the motor. they were alot easier to get to and came out pretty easily. I'm sure you can figure out the rest from there.

as far as performance, I haven't lit em up yet to see if I get any hop, but I can definatly feel them there. personally I think it's cool as hell, whole car shakes at idle, but is perfectly normal when driving. I definatly reccommend them. I also put in the NRG suspension shifter mount inserts and between those and the B&M shifter, shifting is really tight and it sounds alot cooler going into gear, another $11 put to good use.

if you have any questions or need pics, email me.

??? Did you have to support the engine or raise the car to get access to motor mounts?

I'll get you the pics when I get home, you don't have to support the engine or jack up the car....for either mount.

I wanna see the pics too. Email 'em to CJWalker2@yahoo.com if ya get the chance.

Thanks Koolaide9
Got your pics. Hey the install was damn easy took about an hour. After going over the instruction one more time found the 3 14mm bolts and the motor mount bolt (also 14mm use a deep socket).
Whoa does those m.m inserts shake the car at idle(8-900 rpms). vibrations disappear above 1k(norm driving). I can feel dem front wheels grab the pavement hard even during acceleration.
I recommend this project who want elim wheel hop......
Hey send your instructions and pics to juan to post on the 2gnt site.

Hey gzrs99... did you get your motor mounts from MachV also?
