Here is a small review...
Without the caR started the motor has 90% less motion then before. Starting the caR was quite surprising. The caR before, shook, started and then ran, now it just started. Once running I could feel the steering wheel has 75% more vibration in it and the rest of the caR has a humm to it but nothing bad, kinda like a deep exhaust vibration from an 8 Cyl. As I put the clutch in and give it gas to pull out of my garage I instantly notice the clutch is working faster due to the lack of motor movement (Whoo Whoo!). As I shift to second the car just feels like it wants to go and it definitely reacts much quicker to throttle input. Now I'm cruising around my area taking it easy cause the BCIII is not a quiet one to be rompimg late at night but the caR has a much more solid feel and I think it should have been like this from the factory!
Oh.. I stopped in front of my friend's house to see if he was home and He came out real quick to tell me to shut the car off... I wonder why and ask, He said the caR was vibrating his windows on the house
Tomorrow I'm going to my long time friend in SI who works in a auto repair shop and I'll see if he can hook me up with installing the rear mount. Team lazy
I have a few questions...
The ES inserts, are they a PIA to install in the top two mounts? Also Is there a way to check to see before I buy the ES inserts if the top two mounts are broken or in bad shape?
and would it be worth it to install them with the JimFab mounts if the stocks are in ok condition?
I hope tomorrow I'll have a review of the rear mount. But for now, Don't run out and buy these until I get back with another report... I might have a different view once the third is in.

Now that I have all three JimFab mounts in the caR is like driving a new caR
OK, all that I had said before is greatly increased! and Yes the rear view mirror is useless at low speeds, the sob vibrates so much it is useless. But that is what side mirrors are for. Now when I start the caR it jumps to life, Snap and it's running. As for giving it gas the caR even responds better then just the two. EVERYTHING about the motor like throttle input to down shifting is so much better.
I can't believe I did not do these before, If you don't mind some change rattling around or the soda in the cup holder going flat then these are for you.
But if you ever had a complaint about the ITR being noisy or uncomfortable then Do Not install these. these are for people who drive the caR and not for the stunna who cruises at 8mph
Now for those who are looking to buy these Go to JimFab.com and order your set, For the amount that these cost I honestly can't see why anyone would take the time to put Inserts in. The front two are easy and the rear, well we all know the rear mount is a royal PIA. But when You can give a friend a few $$ that has a lift and air tools it makes it all easier

With the ES motor mounts, the vibration is huge if you only do the 2 easy ones & leave out the tranny mount. The first two are easy because they just have the polyu inserts literally ziptied/sandwiched in between the 'spider' of the stock rubber mount. The benefit is even if the old rubber was worn out it doesn't really matter.
**My mounts were so worn, that my exhuast used to come off the back hangers during track days...that's motor movement!
Doing the tranny mount should smooth the vibrations a bit.
keep us posted.
