So I just Installed this:
http://www.agpturbo.com/image.php?type=D&id=289
Here is what AGP has to say about it:
Completely replace your factory front lower roll stop on your Evolution X with our solid mount. The frame is constructed from Billet 6061 Aluminum with CNC precision for superior strength. We have selected bushings perfectly matched to allow reduced engine movement (notice this part) without causing extreme vibration which is common in other mounts on the market today.
Help eliminate your engine movement with one of these mounts and cut down on wheel hop as well as firm up your shifting when banging gears. This is a complete replacement for the front engine mount, and NOT just a pressed insert.
_________________________________
The install was easy, jack the car up, remove a shield and a couple of bolts andddd done!
After sitting in the car and starting her up, the first thing I noticed was how soothing it was to have converted my car into a large, overpriced, massage chair. The vibrations are sooooo terrible at Idle I decided after 5 minutes that no matter hooooww many Pros this mount added, it couldn't outweigh the cons. The car in idle is intolerable, when pinning it though, I don't feel annnnnny movement at all... there is virtually no engine rock and yes, this item does what it says it will, but it robs you of your car being a daily driver.
.... on that note, I couldn't help but pick up the lady to see what she thought... and she enjoyed the vibrating car so much, she was actually a little upset that I'm removing the mount.
Anywho, I have an AGP engine mount for sale, it will fit your GSR or MR... 100 big ones and she's yours!

No kidding! And since I have an MR, it's a 38k vibrator! Has anyone else installed any other engine mounts yet?

are you a noob? is this your first high performance car?
of course its going to send vibration into the chassie.Do you understand how it works? the stiffer mount keeps the motor from moving. the stock mount was a soft rubber which absorbs the vibration.. this one being solid will oviously send the vibration into to chassie and then to your ass. seriously... AMS also states that the mount they put out will do the same thing. Hope you didnt go with the AGP over the AMS because the AGP didnt say anything about vibration.. haha.
If any of you dont want vibration then keep stock suspension and dont get motor mounts.

Hey man, try not to be such a dick.
He said the vibration was extremely bad and in the product description it said it would not be there unlike the other motor mounts out there. So yea... the description told him the opposite. So what's your problem?

Notice what I pointed out in AGP's description....... And I went with AGP not only because they claimed low vibration but also because they built an entire mount replacement.... Otherwise, chill out and don't turn this forum into EvoM... I gave a review to give others an idea about this product before they go out and purchase one, not so I could be bashed by the likes of you....

ahh my bad guys... i was a suby driver before.. im use to ass hattery on the forums and sometimes ovious rant posts just frustrate me.
to me, oviously a solid motor mount will vibrate a car, and all mounts are way worse when first installed then in a week or so. I guarantee the vibration would of went away atleast by 50% if he would of left it in.
