i get vibes under 800rpm, and when im backing up a lil bit. I also noticed the damper translates a lot of engine noise through the chassis, and its very loud inside the car.

It vibrates only at idle. As soon as I hit the gas, putting the RPMs above 1K, they go away. I have also noticed that after a thousand miles or so most of the vibrations have gone away. Either that or I'm just used to them now. Regardless, I kind of like the vibes.

this is confirming what i thought, thanks guys. i most likely don't feel any vibes because my car idles at 1000, and everyone seems to feel them only below that.

That makes sense. I just put my trans mounts on today and it only vibes at idle. Once I'm off the clutch moving forward it's just like it was before the mounts. The car hooks up so much better though I'd gladly deal with the vibes.

mine shakes hardest at 1krpm when under throttle. if im pulling into a parking space on a slope for example, and am using the gas but am still at 1kRPM, those are my worst vibes....i love it

i have 2 mounts and the ingalls set to the stiffest it goes. i'm sure the solid engine mount makes more, but i literally feel no vibes. i don't get why my car is like that when everyone else's shakes.

Mine idles at about 850, I installed my Prothane mounts about 1000 miles ago and the vibs are only bad at take off now. They are not bad at an idle unless it is first thing in the morning.
