These are not true solid mounts due to the polyurethane cores, but my I installed some polyurethane trans and engine mounts in my auto trans Saab and the vibration was fairly bad for the first couple hundred miles before it was completely broken in. After, it was not that much worse than stock and the drivetrain felt so much more solid too.

Then again, the Z is a FAR better car. The stock mounts in this car are actually nicely stiff for N/A applications.

Well if anyone is interested in being the first customer to try these out I can work out a deal if you are willing to post a review that way we can see how they compare to OEM

If you were closer, I would definitely take you up on this and have you install a set.
