I have the hybrid full lower half, shit definitely vibrates. I wish I would of tried the insert first. I was gonna make a video showing the slight vibrations you can feel from bottom of the driver seat to the door panels. In park and slowing down in D mode feels like it might shut down, in reverse is noticable also. I don't have an issue with the AC or driving normal in sport mode. Normal Highway driving you won't notice any Vibrations or harshness. It's only in Drive mode, when coming into a stop sign and RPMs drop to 1k also in Park it vibrates more then stock.
The yellow one.

Funny. I have the same one. Took it out and it's currently sitting in my garage.

If you want an insert that's softer, get the powerflex diesel insert. It's 55 or 60A, softest on the market. Can't speak to the full lower puck hybrid, but the Roc Euro arm paired with the PF diesel insert is snappy and close to stock NVH wise with BFI stage 1 engine/trans.
Roc-euro is the magic here. I didn’t believe the hype.
I was running the BFI stage 1 mounts with powerflex diesel (red) insert. The vibrations I was not too crazy about but it was tolerable and didn’t think I could get any better. I bought the roc-euro stabilizer and installed the yellow powerflex insert at the same time. I was really impressed with how it almost brought the NVH back to stock levels. Magical is the correct word for this thing for sure as many have mentioned before.

I know ECS isn't big around here, and while I haven't used other inserts, I have to say I love the ECS insert. I was very worried about damage to the OEM rubber over time, as well as too much NVH.. the ECS seemed like a nice simplistic take on the existing inserts out there.
Definitely tightened things up, only NVH I remember noticing initially was when I put the car into gear from a stop or going in reverse, but now its at a point where I couldn't tell you the difference and I think thats exactly what I was hoping for and the OEM mount still looks good.
Just my unwarranted two cents.

They're sold out for the 6 spd

I don't know if anyone has ever had any issues with this, but I'd personally be very cautious about hard mounting anything in the driveline without doing it with every other drivetrain bushing. Usually ends with something breaking that would have not otherwise.
It’s not hard mounted. The lower subframe bushing is still flexible which is what the roc-euro arm attaches to.

Dang. Hopefully they will be back in stock soon.
