Arrow About the solid motor mounts

I installed some solid motor mount on my civic a while back, and the motor chakes the hell out of my hatc' now. I'm sure my girlfriend loves it, but the crazy amount of vibrations is killling me. Everyone with solid mounts let me know how bad it vibrates now. Like if it shakes your steering wheel...etc. Thanks already.

Lots of loud vibrations. Mostly from the windshield & the gauge pod. Not too bad through the steering wheel. If you're worried about comfort, these aren't for you.

isn't it just better to install a damper since you can adjust it for racing and not racing. I lowered my car and it feels like shits already breaking due to so many vibrations. Just took the car into the dealer cause water was getting in on the passenger side and they found the sunroof was slightly angled....I think it's the damn vibsssss

I had the single torque brace & it just didn't cut it. I broke the aluminum brackets it 1st came with from Goofyguy & I notice one of the iron brackets was bent when I removed it to install the new mounts. I don't know about the dual brace but I guarantee it's not going to stabilize the engine ANYwhere near the level of solid mounts.

Thats probably what im looking for, I'm gonna have to find a torque brace that is pretty hardcore, just not quite on the level of solid mounts.

I was thinking about going with just the front trans mount. That should help the wheel hop issue without making the vibrations too bad. Maybe do the traction bars as well.
