Motor Inserts

Hey,
I found these inserts, Prothane Motor Mount Inserts. These are good, right? My mounts sucks, and my engine is knocking around alot. These will stop wheel hop too, right? The nice thing is that I get em nice and cheap b.c. of accomidations at the work place! Only $54.

Polyurethane is always better than the stock rubber crap. I don't think name brand matters that much. I used Hotchkis on all my 'Birds. That price is $11+ S&H cheaper than Summit. Got anymore?

Re: Motor Inserts

The kit in that picture is for a 1g. It may be a generic pic, just be sure you are ordering the right kit. They do help prevent or reduce wheelhop, and improve throttle response and feedback overall. A worthwhile mod for just about any DSM. I've posted recently with some tips on installing those things too fyi.

Re: Motor Inserts

I got those inserts for my car. I love them, but boy they sucked to install. We tried to torch the old ones out (smelled like crap), we ended up using a drill to get the old inserts out. But in the end, totally worth it.

Re: Motor Inserts

I dont have any wheel hop, so what advantage would I have if I put them in? Can you fell the difference?
