Any 2.4L owners upgrade their passenger side engine mount?

Just wondering, want to make absolutely sure there won't be any fitment issues. Looking at sigs I haven't noticed any of the regular posters as having installed one. A 2.2L owner with a 5-speed is complaining that it is not fitting his vehicle and this has me concerned. Tried searching this forum but that didn't turn up anything.

i did mine with the billet mount from zzp, perfect fit. altho i wasnt prepared for the amount of vibration these things put out... make sure to pick up some dynamat if your picky like i am about the interior rattles. the first night it failed the GF test big time, picked her up and she's like... *rattle* *rattle* "wtf is wrong with your CAR!!!" *rattle* *rattle*

i also had to reset my pcm, drive another 1000 miles, and dynamat the hell out of the car before things smoothed out. for the longest time i thought i had a maf failure because the car ran like **** (throwing the knock sensor maybe?)

was it worth it? no wheel hop, no more "clunch" noise from hard shifting, tiny bit better cornering, and a tiny bit of low-end. burn outs are hella easy now too...

just had the J-BodyPerformance engine mount installed today. It vibrates a little while accelerating in the low rpm range, cruising, and de-celerating. Personally i like a little vibration so it doesnt feel like im driving a video game all the time. Oddly enough it also made the sound of the car a lot more badass.

it is a solid and nice looking piece. but the real test will come when i try to launch with it and see if it sets off the knock sensor at all.

i have the jbody mount and the poly control arm bushings, after testing the mount viciously, it compiments the bushing quite well, no wheel hop, and no knock sensor issues.
