I get the feeling you've never rode in a saturn. Mine vibrates like a son of a gun with all stock engine mounts. Love just barely hearing your exhaust over the sound of interior plastic panels vibrating off each other. Cavalier with ttr mounts is nothing and I bet after I do the balance shaft delete (eventually), it'll still not be as bad as the saturn. The back massage was nice though.

The build looks great man, good luck with everything. Also, on the topic of Neutral Balance Shafts compared to a delete kit, I have a delete, and the vibes aren't bad at all. I do have Stage 2 rotated mounts, but don't know if that affects it at all. One thing though, those dont look to be Darton Sleeves, they look more like Bates Engineering Sleeves. Darton uses MID (Modular Integrated Deck) Sleeves, and Bates does not. Mine are Darton, here is what they look like. Either way, looks good
