   some people say that with the group n engine mounts they feel alot of vibration in the car when on stand still, also if you try to drive slow its like you have kangaroo petrol altho they are great when giving it "some"

   it vibrates very slightly and regardless of your engine mounts if your car "kangeroo's" its because you have no clutch control ... lol
   
   mine doesnt kangeroo

    i wouldnt say you see gains tbh
    
    it stops the engine from rocking allowing the power to get to the wheels alot easier
    
    may notice a smoother gearchange under accell

    i still like the way people never go dirct to pugsport to buy the mounts, and so instead pay extorsionate prices for them instead.
    
    I cant wait to run my group Ns on my engine conversion, should prevent the engine rocking about like a hooker on a weekend.
