Default Energy susp torque arm and tranny mount

Is there any advantage to running Energy Suspension torque arm and transmission mounts? Im still running the stock ones, and they are in decent shape but Im wondering if its worth it for the upgrade.

Thanks

they are tougher than the stock neoprene ones for sure, but they seem to let you feel everything in the rd because they are so solid...

many people have complained about the tranny mount, not so much about the tq arm. It really depends on where the ta arm is mounted.

Make sure you at least have urethane mounts on the engine. I have engine, trans, and ta bushing. Feels really solid. Couldn't be happier.

I recommend them both for sure. Especially the trans mount, it made my shifting feel more precise, because the trans wasnt bouncing around everywhere. The sad part is most people take them out after the first day because of vibes. Give it about a week or two and any vibes from a poly trans mount will go away. I've had both poly trans and torque arm mounts in my 01, and had them in my 97 all for a long time. No issues whatsoever. And don't let anyone make you believe you're gonna break your transmission with a poly trans mount on stock rubber motor mounts. The ****'s not that weak.
