well i dont have the poly motor mounts but i had a poly tranny mount put in about a week ago and i took it out yesterday. the vibration was to bad and the console would rattle and the tranny felt like it was going to fall out of the car.
so i say the the vibration is normal for those mounts.
now i have to order a 1le tranny mount and but it in ont top of the price of the poly one. hope that helps

um, yea. Its going to be alot rougher. Take your old stocker and move it about like your engine would. yes, they are so flexable that you can do it with your hands. Now the poly one, you wouldnt be able to do it by hand. If you wanted a smooth ride, then you should have kept it stock. Once you start modding, it all goes down hill.

I haven't noticed much "roughness", only at idle it rumbles which is awesome.

I think my car actually got smoother after I put in the poly mounts. My stock ones were pretty bad though. With it loping because of the cam it looked like the motor was going to jump out. With the mounts it's pretty still, other than the whole car bouncing now.

i noticed the car shakes slightly more but the engine doesn't shake at all, used to look like it was going to jump out!
