Ok i know there will be more vibration with them since their stiffer, what im wondering is someone that has both in how much vibration there is. i have my lower in and at about 1,000 rpm it vibrates pretty good, havent got to put in the upper in yet but have. thanks for all of your info in advance. thanks, andrew

You can really feel it in the steering wheel. It goes away with the rpms north of 2500 rpms on my ECO. My passengers have told me that they can really feel it in the floor board. Then again both the motor mounts are on that side. I have the transmission mounts as well.

on my eco, i feel it from 800-1k rpm as i accel from a stop, and like when i start the car, outside that at idle its a little more, but nothing horrid. The most feel comes from 800-1k rpms as i accel.
I had a little vib from my lower, recently installed my upper.. and OMG lol my car idles @ about 700 and you can see my hood vibrate (It's fiberglass) it vibrates BAD in my car way bad.. but i need new struts in teh front too.. I think that will solve some of it.. it's not as coushiony as it should be.
But it's stiffer than @!#$! I'll tell you that.. no motor flex hahaha. Whut's a Auto Z24 supose dto idle at, mine idles at 1k when it's cold then when it's warm it idles at 700.. wondering since i jsut got the car used in sept if it's time for a full tune up

Same with mine LOL if i leave it in drive & idle.. the vibration's horrible. If i put it in neutral. it's bearable and somewhat noticable.

I have the lower one and it only vibrates as the motor is decelerating and is annoying as crap. Sounds like the motor is gonna come out from under the hood.
its not to bad to me
sometimes its a annoying but not too often
I used to feel it a little bit before I rebuilt my motor and had it all balanced. Now I just feel the power behind the motor when I rev it up and drive it.
I just got both of my mounts in the mail yesterday, I got a question on the upper one, are u suppose to keep the factory one in and just use the new one as a support?? The mounts didnt come with instructions but a buddy of mine said that i should keep my factory one in..
ok, thanks man, i'm gonna try it this weekend and i'll tell ya how it works!
You'll need to move the coolant resevoir out of the way. Remove the motor mount cover. It just unbolts a lifts off. To make it easier, use a jack under the motor on the lower motor mount bracket to relieve some of the pressure and work it in their to fill in the void. It's just an insert, not a replacement. Like a missing puzzle piece. A little oil or grease or soapy water will help it go in easier. Then retighten evrything. The lower one is simple. The motor won't fall when you remove the lower one. You might need to pry the motor a little bit to align the bolt holes and it goes in one way. You'll figure it out. Just hold it up to the stock one and see which way it goes. Something a little slick helps that go in too. Good luck!
PS....Don't complain about the vibration. It's normal for some.

Thanks guys mine is only at around 1k r's like i said sometimes it gets annoying i guess ill have to put in the upper and see how bad it is. so far its not as bad as my old 95 cav. this one is on a 2002 2200 auto. thanks everyone for your input
Which mounts did you pick up?
Prothane to large bushings(RK, Karo, Summit), or RSM (smallest bushings), or Mark Pain (large front small rear)
For the upper, just get the mount in close enough to get the bolts started.
Then tighten down, alternating evenly, and the mount works itself in.

me too... i have both upper and lower mounts from RSM and especially in the cold, it gets NASTY. But when my car's a warmer (spring/sumer) its very slight. But you do get used to it. And ive had people tell me the vibrations are pretty cool feeling/sounding.
