dfco is less noticeable when hit. the vibes go away as engine rpm and speed increase. less rocking of the motor itself. i never had wheel hop issues aside from at the track when vht is involved. my tire pressure is set to 34 in the front, and 36 in the rear. did a 1-2 run after i got them in and still rolled smoke off the tires with ease. i can't use the two step to launch the car. meth nozzle is to big. have to drop the hammer at a higher rpm when i get bored enough to do it.
I ordered mine this morning. So excited to hear they are relatively easy to install.

i stand behind this 100% on them working as intended. less power is lost when you get wide open, in a sense more is transfered to the tires instead of using it to rotate the engine. dfco entry and exit feeling is bog down is gone. shuddering when the clutch is popped is gone.
these mounts 110% work as they are designed to

is that what you mean? that is much smoother now due to less engine travel/movement?
if so that alone is a big plus, and on a larger scale (DR's and VHT) its going to really shine...

less motor movement. results in less issues with engine movement. duh! smoother engagement and disengagement
did a 1-2 run in the rain. which lasted about 10 ft. zero hop. my car in first in the rain would hop. doesn't hop anymore

conn, you can leave it in and be fine. just vibrates more. since im the test monkey for these, i am just going off how they are intended to be used to get a real world result for the masses

snow report. everyone with stock mounts, or a ttr engine mount has this problem. 1st gear in the snow. let the clutch out. the car will hop.
with these mounts, this is gone. zero hop.

i took the ttr mount off, put the stocker back on. vibs are 90% gone. you can use it with the ttr upper. however, they are designed to be used with the stock side mounts.
