2005 Motor Mount
Trying to do some reading on motor mounts. My drivers side mount is leaking, car has a cam and other mods. Do not want a mount that is too hard so leaning towards the Hinson. The reviews are good, with little to any added vibration.
Next question, should I attempt install? I have a 4 post lift but it looks much easier with a 2 post. Also have mild-moderate mechanical abilities with even lower free time.
Open to thoughts, tips and tricks. Thanks for the help.

I’m cammed with the AMT mounts, coilovers with much stiffer springs and delrin control arm bushings. There is a slight vibration at idle and at very low throttle position/low speed. Once you get to like 20 mph, it feels just like how it was before.

I have similar mods with the AMT mounts and agree with ttx350z about the NHV increase over the OEM motor mounts.

I just installed Hinson motor mounts to my C6Z. One of the best mods so far, powertrain is much more solid.
Driver side is easy, slightly lift the engine and lower engine cradle to get access.
Passenger side a bit more complex, I chose to remove my exhaust manifold.
There are some more detailed threads if you search, e.g. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...t-install.html.
AMT has a decent document: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/26...79593290358987
