If you would had take time to read some past threads or ask peoples here about those I'm sure you would have kept away from them,so before buying next time don't be shy ASK!

I was a new member and lesson learned. I did read some posts after a installed these and dreaded ever doing so.

Dan,

I'm sorry this happened to you. That stinks. Although Ernie is a bit blunt he is correct. Use the combined forum know-how in the future. All the mistakes have been made. Good for you for doing that job as a newbie. Not an easy one.

-Dan C.

I see this sort of comment alot about motor mounts....I found this to be a particularly easy task. I am curious what people find so difficult?

Actually, I didn't think these had such a bad rep. Mixed results, I thought, from memory...

deutschepartsusa=WOT (waste of time). Sorry you had to learn it the hard way.

The problem is there are a few cheaper aftermarket engine mounts available for these cars. The OEM ones are so freaking expensive, but I've heard nothing but bad about using the cheap ones. I'll just keep my shot OEM mounts. No use wasting a day and $60 only to be back to square one in a year, and a smooth quiet ride isn't worth $300 to me. I kind of like the race car "rattles every loose item in the car" feel anyway, except for a noticable vibration around 2500 or so. Makes me think either the guys that balanced my engine bottom end did a lame job, or the balance shafts are no longer balanced to the motor because of the slight lightenning from the material removal done to balance.
