i recevied my engine mount Set from kpsec last week install them last week end everything went ok broke one of the 2 front bolt that hold the cross member but everthing is ok now
they seem to work well but it feel funny it's like the car feel less powerfull now when i snap the gaz i feel less brutal then it use to... i had a bit of problem putting the mount back on afther installing them on the cross member the rear one was a bit off not by a full hole but half of it i'd says is it normal ?
my clutch need to be change is this why the car feel less brutal ? the engine is not moving a mush as it use so the clutch is taking all the presure ?
i know this may not be all clear but it is really a weird feeling :S
when i had my X3 i did the Windos weld mod on the motor mount and afther it ... i don't think it was feeling like that :S
could i have done something wrong ? or being of a bit are the rear is a big problem ?

rubber mounts allow the engine and trans to move around quite a bit. You can really "Snap" the engine around. With the Kspec mounts, it is more controlled and you do not get all the violence that you would otherwise.
I really doubt that you lost any power with a mount change.. but your perceptions of the car have changed.
