Just installed Spohn's K FRAME package AND WOW!
The ride is so much better than before. I got the k frame, upper and lower a arms and new ball joints, and solid motor mounts.
The a arms are alot lighter than stock, and you really can feel the better ride with the less unsprung weight. It's much better for just cruising down the highway now. It rides like a cadillac
and let me end the solid motor mount battle!!!
THEY ARE NOT AS BAD AS PEOPLE SAY!! I have some interior pieces that are broken, and one they are fixed, I will have zero interior rattle. The only vibrations(minimal) you feel are at idle. Not cruising, not accelerating, but only at idle.
The mounts also made my clutch chatter go away, because the engine can't bounce back and forth on the mounts anymore. My shifter does not shake at all anymore, either.
If anyone is debating getting this or a similar package, DO IT!!

you could get the car tuned and forget all about the retard sensors
good stuff man, i look forward to doing that setup myself. im glad someone can come forth and say the truth about sold mounts. they have no downside, less weight and stronger. a winning combination

thanks for the input guys. I am really happy with the setup. I am working on the driver mod though....
The frequency right below idle is what makes the car shake. If I wasn't a shitty driver, I could make the car act 100% better, and never get it below idle when I let the clutch out.
