I put mine on about 3 weeks ago along with my headers. I "feel" the car a LOT more.
There is some vibration at idle, not bad. There's a sweet spot though to taking off in first gear. If you try to baby it it'll vibe an buzz like crazy.
It just takes a little getting used to. Its my daily driver, but I wanted a pony car. I like it like this. Everyone has their own preference though.

I wish I had gotten this "feel" from my poly mounts. If I had to do it all over again I would have done solids. I DD my car, but I am the type of person that likes a raw feel when it comes to vehicles.

I have solid motor mounts on my car with the MS4 and all i can say is that the car feels very solid. the only thing i hate about it is that it makes harder to swap out a clutch and that my mirrors constantly shake.
