About two weeks ago I installed ES Motor Mount inserts in my front motor mount and I thought I felt a difference but I think it was just me. The car still had the same smooth idle so I was wondering what everyone was talking about the car vibrating more. Today I finally worked up the nerve to install the back motor mount. It was much easier than I was expecting. I took a test drive right after I was done and damn, the vibration lol. Only when idle, it's noticeable. Once i'm driving it feels normal. The car definitely feels solid now but am I suppose to notice any other differences besides the vibration?

Whats that vibration like? Is it like a good engine-y vibration or an annoying one?

I think I have heard or this only happening when the front motor mount is installed, Why don't you do some testing for us and take out the front and tell us what it feels like, if u have extra time

So I took out the front motor mount and the vibration is still there. I actually replaced the front mount at least 2 weeks before doing the rear and the vibration started when I did the rear which make since in a way. I've gotten used to it and it really doesn't bother me anymore. It feels very sturdy now. One question, if I replace the side mounts, how much more vibration will come from it?

Haha, man I was about to reply and say...wait till you install the side mount insert. You might think it is too much, but you get used to it. Personally, I like it and it never bothered me.
A word of advice...when you remove that side mount remember you will need to have the steel ring that runs around the inside diameter of the mount pressed out or removed in some fashion then the insert will pop right in.

do the window rattle fix before you do the side mounts and you won't be bothered
I just filled my mounts with urethane, wasn't too much vibration, I imagine that the ES solid mounts would be a little harsher

replaced front with an AFX solid mount, and the rest with Prothanes. yeah . . . not bad but you definatly know its not stock, like getting a hummer while you idle
HOWEVER one issue that might creep up is soem sensors not liking the vibration too much. my IAT hates me now

Thanks for all the replies. As far as pounding out the press ring inside of the side motor mounts, I've done it before. You can never be ready for the amount of hell those things unleash on you lol. I think I will be doing my side mounts as soon as I start doing my suspension. I plan on ordering Tokico Illuminas next month. Man I can't wait.
As far as the window fix, I will definitely need to do this soon. Is there a writeup floating around here some where? Lastly, I couldn't imagine having solid mounts. I don't feel the need to fall out of my car in a concussion lol j/m. What do you think about the Energy Suspension complete suspension bushing set? I'm definitely going to buy it but wanted some input.

I am assuming the prothane motor mount inserts are just as good? Anybody like one brand more than the other or the same, just different name?
