i've had my mounts on for 30K miles. they broke in and the vibes reduced dramatically, but i still get some, and it doesnt stop the wheel hop. its still hops here and there. i would sell them and spend the money on the rotated mounts

Lol at the mount break in.

i used to have the polly inserts for the stock mounts(same insert that ttr uses in their mounts) and i though that they break in too...when i went back to stock inserts i realized that they didnt/dont break in, you think they break in because you get used to the vibes and then they become less noticeable. they are still all there though

I did Poly upper/lower motor and tranny mounts from TTR on my last vehicle. Huge increase on vibrations, esp with AC on sitting at a light. Makes you feel more in-tune with the car, a rugged more tough feel. But beware I've had many average non car people say "is something wrong with this car?" when riding in it, just due to the vibrations. The TTR mounts are still in good shape (Sold car to my good friend, still get to drive it every now and then) The black powdercoating still looks good with a quick wipe, 3 years since installed.

Have your tuner cut your torque down in 2nd gear or buy stickier tires. Problem solved.
