Hmm, well, a mechanic put them in for me, actually. And it's not too bad once I'm above about 1000 rpm, but it is obnoxious at lights, and it's no longer a quiet ride.

That's still surprising, did you check your side mounts? A reach but I wonder if they are shot, too, and you're getting this vibration from nailing down the front/rear with sloppy sides.

One of my B13's is like you describe but has Place racing mounts all 4 corners. My other B13 with ES F/R is nothing like that, smooth at idle around 700-800 rpm.

I put in all of the 4 prothane motor mounts and at first I noticed it, but I do not notice it anymore. I enjoy the whole stiffening effect it gave me for the whole car. To be honest, probably the BEST bang for my buck as far as all the things I have done to make my car more performance orientated.

Cams or stock motor?

Painfully stock, unfortunately. It's not soo bad, really, I just compare it to how much quieter it was when everything was all loosey goosey. I guess I just ask too much of my B13.

I will admit the car feels much more solid and a bit quicker without so much lost in translation. Even going through turns and whatnot, it's nice.
