Default Prothane Motor Mounts

Felt a bad vibration when starting my car a few weeks ago that appears to be a bad motor mount. I ordered Prothane mounts from Summit this morning. Just wondering if any of you guys have used them and if you noticed a difference, if any, from the stock ones? Thanks...

im bout to change mine over aswell, and from what ive read you still get the feel of the car unlike when you do solid motor mounts you cant feel much. But they are better than stock rubber ones and help to sturdy up the motor, but not as much as the solids do.

ive had mine in since february. its more sturdy than stock, but you can still feel the engine/trans move under hard shifting. theres not a whole lot of extra vibration either like many ppl claim
