Won't be for a couple of weeks but I'm sure the car will love me for it!Have got an on again off again shake at idle that is quite bad. Still have factory engine mounts in there, 226,000km old...Great to read that NVH increase is minimal too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight increase in NVH at idle, but apart from that your wouldn't know they are installed (besides the handling improvement)I have been carefully tuning idle speed to minimise the NVH increase and have found (for my particular car) Ingear AC off 700rpm, Park Ac off or on 600rpm and ingear AC on 744rpm seem to be the magic numbers for idle speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain transitional vibrations as the revs climbed/fell are gone too, a more subtle change but just as welcome. Feels more refined, but this would be expected from the state of the old mounts. Totally collapsed.Big ups to Ralph for bringing these to my attention and installing them for me! Top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
