Billet Rotated Mounts

Hey I don't want to be a downer or anything, but I have to be honest, the vibes after install are actually worse than I was expecting. Using the responses of the pioneer's of this product and the vendors comments as a guage, I was expecting the stage 1 mounts to minimize the vibes enough to be similar to what the car rides stock. However, I do not even notice a difference in the vibes from the poly inserts at all. The car starts up a little smoother, but anytime I'm in reverse or low RPMs, interior/dash panels still rattle. I even went through the trouble of taking out the poly i filled my driver's side mount with (under the fuse box). Oddly, the vibes were actually better before I did that, so I may go back and fill that one back in, I was just trying to eliminate all variables.
Having said all that, I will say that the mounts do completely eliminate hop, which even all 3 polys did not do. I am still satisfied with the product, I just feel that the reduction in vibes just may have been exaggerated a bit.
And let me know if this sounds totally out of the norm, because it is possible that I installed them incorrectly or messed something else up.

Try loosening all you motor and trans mounts and then rock then engine back and forth by hand. It might not be setteled all the way and could be binding because of it.

Guys I haven't been able to get on all weekend, the site would load up but I couldn't go anywhere do to the slow servers and my pda being a bad combo. Powell Raceshop is shipping 25 sets of mounts today. The rest will be shipped this coming weekend. Shipping is normally 3 days. Sorry for the delay guys but trust me it will be worth it.
I really hope you guys didn't start chasing dollars and catering to people not even on the group buy list.
Again, I understand you're going in order of who paid. But the people who had the ***** to sign up for the group buy should be given first priority over everyone. Until the first 25 on that list had their mounts in the mail no one else ordering stage1's or just axles outside that list should have even been given a second glance.
Didn't happen
Patience and understanding only goes so far. At some point a company needs to deliver on its promises. Isn't the concept of a Group Buy a step of faith? A promise that if we get you the money to get production started that you can deliver the number of items required (in this instance 25). Why weren't 24 stage 2 mounts, 1 stage 1 mount, and 2 sets of axles (give or take a few maybes) ordered from this company you are getting them from and why didn't they deliver exactly that?
Sorry for the rant. And I don't mean to be harsh, but it'll be a month in 2 days. The above questions need to be answered out of respect to the 25 people that were willing to pledge a decent amount of money to make a discount possible.

I'd really like to know where I am on the list for shipping. I know you guys are going by what order we paid in, but I paid the very next day. I'm number 21 on this list and there are people just a few spaces above me that already either have their mounts or have tracking info. So where am in the standings right now?
I will check on this when i get home today at 1:30
This never happened. 25 people on the group buy list, 25 sets ordered, the math works. I think since we ordered on the 26th of February we should be told exactly what happened here so we know what happened to our 356.00 dollars.
There was a delay on getting the bushings so these could be completed.
How did you guys end up with 10 sets of stage 2 and 20 sets of stage 1 when there was only one person on the entire group buy list that even wanted stage 1?
We shelled out every penny before anyone paid a dime. We placed the orignal order before this thread started to reduce wait time

So where do I stand? I'm guessing I didn't make the list for Monday's shipment (if you guys even got them in yesterday) because I still haven't gotten any shipping info. Which means I have to wait till Friday till you get more in (again, if you can get them in when you say you can), then wait an additional shipping time frame after that. 2 more weeks?
We shipped out 9 stage 2's yesterday

Again before we collected any money, actually 3 weeks before this thread was made the money was paid to have these made. There have been delays and for that we apolgize but we are trying our best to get the products out to everyone as quickly as possible.

When are you expecting to get the next set in and do you know how many? It looks like I did not make the cut for yesterday's shipment so trying to figure out when to expect mine ( I was like 3rd to last to pay so I know I am low on the list but now you have shipped 19 of ~25 stage 2)
#247
