Just got the car back from the dealer after having the full RSS Tarmac kit including semi-solid engine mounts installed. First thing I noticed was agreement with the tech who stated the car felt "much tighter". It indeed is as solid as a rock, and unbelievably, rides smoother over a commonly traveled piece of very bumpy road. Noise seems the same so far, so no problem there. What I really like is the sensation that the front wheels are very directly connected to the steering wheel - no play or slop whatsoever. The motor mounts have even affected the 2 to 3 upshift as it feels slightly different - not sure if necessarily any better, but different. Overall, it feels as though I have a brand new and tight car.

 

Jim great to hear you got your goodies put on the car! congrats, glad you're liking it so far. Hopefully you get some good wheel time over the weekend to give us further impressions.

 

Scoot, I'll keep you informed. So far it feels really nice and tight. Very different feeling. Hard to tell if the RS was loosening up (23K miles), or if it is just much better than OEM.
