I purchased the motor mount inserts from kirkosaurus and installed the front only so far as i have not had a chance to do the rear yet. With the front installed it causes a vibration at idle which is more then before ( yes i know it can cause this) My question however is, is it safe having the extra vibration? will it cause damage to anything or premature wear?
Thanks all!! Ps: Even with just the fron ton the car feels so much more responsive and tighter. no hesitation when you push the gas anymore just smooth sailing. I would highly recomend to anyone thinking about these. |

I'd reccomend a torque wrench when bolting things down that you probably won't access for awhile. When I went to replace my rear mount, the 17mm bolt that goes through the mount was gone! I don't know if the motor was pulled before I had it and someone forgot to torque it down and it came loose, if it just came loose, or if it just wasn't put back, but one way or another it caused my mount to crack. Lesson to be learned, just spend the extra minute, grab a torque wrench, and torque the important bolts..
