Does the vibration stay constant all the time or is it a "faster you go, worst it gets" type of vibe

no its just at idle, give it gas and you wont notice them. over time the vibes go away as you break in the mounts

exactly. even at idle it's not that bad anymore. the few times they're really noticeable is when you start the car when it's very cold out, (goes away once it's warmed up). also, if you're going very slow in too high a gear. like if you slow down for a speed bump, keep it in 2nd, and give it gas after the bump. you'll feel the car shake for a second.

normal driving, don't really feel it at all.

I've got BWoody solid mounts all around... and it made a heck of a difference. The car takes off much faster now... and wheel hop is gone.

I just installed front and rear tranny mounts on tuesday and I may take them out. The vibrations are pretty bad. It makes the whole car sound lowder inside the cabbin. Also it shakes the car REALLY bad if you bog at all. THe vibrations are worst at 1bout 1000 - 1500 RPM. I have already noticed them loosening up a bit, so I'm going to keep them for a few more hundred miles. If they don't loosen up a little more I'm going to replace one back to stock.

On the plus side I have noticed I am putting more power down to the ground. And I have NO wheel hop. But then again I rairly got wheel hop before..
