yep, it vibrates a little harder after those mounts go in, especially at stop lights. but once mine broke in after a little while, they started to drive like stock.

I don't understand why people are so afraid of soild mounts. I did them and loved them. They really didn't vibrate nearly as bad as people make them out to be.

Personally, I like the little shake the car gets with a cam and solid mounts... but that's just me.
