Just installed the kspec mounts on my tib. Drives smooth, i love the feeling but.... wheni stop at a light and go to idle the steering wheel shakes as if it were having a seizure. Stiff bushing i know ,but do these require a break in period seeing how they are so stiff ? Anyone else experence the same vibration?

No, that's exactly what the mounts do. They limit engine movement so that vibration has to go somewhere.

?? not understanding ya very much.. neway, which ones did you install? front and rear ones? sides?

i was going to go with solid mounts, but i heard something about me maybe receiving these soon, lol..

i am going to put bushings inside of the poly mounts, to make it have less movement than they already have.. i need the motor to stay in place..

front and rear roll stops. my stock ones were shot. I wonder if the extra stress on the other two wore them out.

hmm... yah mine are worn out, and i got my radiator cracked from it, lol.. the other ones may be worn out, but if you do anything with em, just fill em with 3M window weld, no point in spending tons of $$ on those, unless your building a race car.. damn i want these mounts.. imma come over to windsor and steal em.. i need em more than you do. lol lmao.gif

I listened to mind make a clunk for about 1 1/2yrs. I needed mine as well.
Is there a DIY on filling the other mounts?

yah i think there is, do a search, its relatively easy though.. just get the 3m window weld caulk stuff, and fill it a lil, let dry, fill, let dry a lil, and let dry for like 24 hours once filled, and put em back in.

Well after a day of driving the Tib, i would have to say i love the mounts. My shifts are sooo much more percise.
Very , very smooth. The vibration isn't as bad as when i first drove it. Very little engine movement front or back. SOCKS you should invest in these.
