Finally got my Powell rotated mount in. Only took me 6 weeks to get around to it.
I originally had TTR motor mount and poly bushings. That was fine until we had our baby and then the mounts made the car too loud for her little ears. Sold the motor mount and that cut the noise by 70% while still stopping most of the wheel hop. It was easily livable but I'm getting old at the age of 23 so I wanted even quieter.
Powell mount reduced the remaining vibration to ALMOST stock level. I think a few hundred miles will make it even better.
If anyone wants stock front and rear mounts with the poly bushings already installed they will be going up for sale soon. Shoot me a PM if you want them. 30 shipped.
