Thumbs up Function-First Tranny Mount Inserts review

Hello Everyone,
I typically don't post on here simply because I don't feel I know enough about our cars. I rather read reviews and learn what others have done to make their cars that much better and then choose my mods from there. Here recently I had to share an experience with a product that I feel is a necessity to make our cars that much more enjoyable. I read that a fellow 6speeder had bought these inserts and he absolutely loved the way it really transformed his car.. So, I bought them and recently installed them. It was a pretty easy install. I jacked the car up and then used another jack to lift the weight of the transmission off of the factory bushings. I then greased up the inserts and wiggled them into place. (While I was under there I went ahead and changed both my front and rear diff fluid.) Fit was exact and held in nicely due to the studs holding the tranny mount to the car. Once I buttoned up all of the belly panels and put her back on the ground, I took her for a spirited drive. WOW!!! What a difference! My car feels so much more connected. I noticed a difference on my past cars I did this mod to, but forgot just how much play the factory rubber bushings had. I have fallen in love with my turbo all over again. Thanks, Luka!! Great product and best bang for the buck mod!!

Did you get street or track version, and did you notice any increase in NVH?

^..and..

do you have semi or solid motor mounts or anything else not oem to gauge what the nvh +/- is? i only ask also because i already have wevo's and a new 997 t-mount as is. i've always felt the inserts wouldn't add much noticeable benefit.
be great to "know" otherwise. they are inexpensive enough to take a chance on for sure.
