I was very impressed with the change in grip to surface after installing them. Is this a symptom of simply using solid mounts or did they make the correction you are referring to?

The mounts in the built cobalt have do two things; rotate the engine and have it bolted to the frame. Having Bwoody mounts in the car effectively does the second of those two mods (keeps the engine/tranny more steady), while Qwik/****'s product does the first of those two mods (rotates the engine forward, aligning the axles better).

I don't really understand the science of it all, so Qwik would be better able to explain what's actually happening. All I know is it rotates the trans which allows the axles to line up better, which somehow reduces the hop, but I've never paid enough attention to my axles to know wtf he's talking about.
