Damn...those things look like they are made out of thin aluminum. Rattling would be the least of my worries with them.

I have the front and rear KSPEC mount on my car. The vibration isn't bad at all. My rear view is perfectly stable. They made a HUGE difference in my wheel hop problem.

I have the front and rear mounts on too as my stock ones were shot. at idle you can feel the vibration and the rear view mirror can get a little blurry at times but nothing like as bad as I was expecting

ive been in both



my j2 has window welded mounts, its good for NA and stuff like that, but i would recommend getting the actual mounts



the kspec ones arent poured into the mount, its a separate bushing thats been pressed into the stock mount

Is there any other motor mounts available for the tib other than kspec? I dont want to wait another month for these parts to arrive. How about one alluminum solid mounts like these:







Or Two of these Mount Bushings:







I do have a Torque Dampeners to help
