*FTW! BHR Motor Mounts!

Hi everyonne, just wanted to do a quick write up for anyone deciding on a motor mount upgrade. I picked up a set of BHR motor mounts as part of a local package deal I purchased. I can not be any happier that I chose to install these on the vehicle and here are the reasons why. I was under the impression that I was going to need to install a new transmission as 3rd hear would grind on high gear shifting and I assumed it was the typical s1 tranny synchro problem. I was also getting a clunk from the right front of the vehicle when pulling in and out of driveways. This occured as well when I made right to left steering at low speeds (one of the motor mounts was ripped in half when they were pulled out). Lastly, taking off from a stop was sluggish and felt weak. I can honsetly say that installing the BHR motor has solved all these issues. The negatives in the club threads people talked about in regards to vibrations and rigidness feel at low rpm's are actually a positive for me. The feel of the car is more raw and refined in my opinoon. The shifting is solid and crisp through all gears at regular and high rpm shifiting. Also, the steerting and suspension feel more solid. The final benefit to me is the sound! I am running an AEM intake with RB dual resonated midpipe and exhaust. I can now hear the engine low end grunt (all 159lbs of torque -lol) all the way to the nice screaming pitch at 9k Rpm's.
