It was new but damaged box from Amazon Warehouse.

I have to assume this was shot? I can't understand how the BFI insert block would solve that though? There is major gap on each side.

Someone said those mounts come shot from the factory, lol. I don’t see how the insert would eliminate that slop.

It doesn’t... that’s why people get the insert only and claim “on it’s like stock vibrations”

The full replacement is much more rigid and NVH heavy.

So any thoughts about the mounts after getting some miles on them? They break in at all/you get used to it yet?

Engine mount bolt nut had almost fallen off. Glad I checked it doing my battery bracket upgrade. Tranny mount bolts all good thankfully as they're harder to get to. I get some weird vibrations when coasting like the clutch is trying to decide if it wants to disengage or not. I had them before but they were muted, now it is very obvious. I can't see distances out my rearview mirror if I am on the throttle. The cars are all blurry

Put it in the hatch over the pass tire... traction tricks

Curious, why do you think it would be better there? Corner balance shows the driver side is lighter than passenger for me, so battery actually makes more sense in stock location.

Turn off the ac. Makes mine much better although mine only vibrates at idle.

wait, you have the Cpe mounts...

It's a joke, old school hotrod trick.

How is the lithium vs an ol wet cell? Is it all hype? Any advantages?

(Ask me how I know )

I put an Autozone (classy, I know) EFB battery in mine and I notice it runs at higher voltages, starts faster etc. And that’s still a wet cell. Imagining Diggs’ is way ahead.

Dope. I know lithium can only do so many cycles. But I’m assuming it’s capable of way more cycles vs a wet cell.
