I agree with Terry. I have ES poly mounts and it vibrates the shit out of my car, the upside is I can 'feel' when the tires are going to break loose at auto x...and I lost almost all wheel hop...

you get used to it after a while the only time i really notice is for some reason if the idle drops to say like 500rpms then the entire car shakes like crazy

I have the ES front and rears. In the begining I was yelling at the car like a crazy person because of the rattles and shaking. I'm used to it now.
And it is also funny to hear my roommate saying "Am I supposed to feel the engine shaking through my ass?!" He was sitting where my back seat used to be.

Exactly the same with my car. I think it just has to do with the frequency of the vibrations. The vibrations up high are unnoticble to me (maybe from me used to driving Trans Ams/V8s?.)
I personally think the trade off is worth it. When I auto-x it just feels so much better, espicially with the urethane suspension bushings too. Virtually no wheel hop, road feel is awesome. If you just want a street/show car, and it worry you that much, I would say don't bother, but if you are looking to put a little power down or have attain some decent response/road feel, go for it.

Not to hijack the thread or anything but....would the "vibration" through a prothane mount be better if the engine were balanced? I had my engine balanced during my rebuild and was curious if this would help the vibration thing through the prothane mount? Anyone have a balanced motor with the prothane mounts?
EDIT: Man....I didn't realize this thread was a month old. Sorry for raising the dead!
