Congratulations on some solid supporting mods If you saw my pothole thread, you'll know I too am getting a DeWitts... I've heard they work incredibly well; I'll be sure to post on how it works out in my car.
Please give us a good review of those engine mounts; I've contemplated it but having had them on my Subaru STI, I'm afraid the noise/vibration might make the car unpleasant for these long (800 miles + each way non stop) drives I take on a semi regular basis...

I think many of us have interest in the Pfadt Tranny and engine mounts. I have heard good and negative. Would be nice to hear first hand.

I posted a thread about a month ago in the C6 Tech forum after the Pfadt mounts install with same title as above. Check it out. DeWitts/Mezziere/160* is the only way to go. Ray
