That's coming from people who are to lazy to put all 3 mounts in. They either put 1 of 3 or 2 of 3 in and then report that it vibrates. Reason being....they leave the rear one out because it requires you to actually get "dirty" putting it in.....lol. So, they never bother and then talk about vibration. You put all 3 in, and it's almost like it's stock. Very, very, very hit of vibration on the initial take off. Everything else is gravy. Oh, if you turn on the A/C, then you get a little more vibration that you would see stock of course.

I had noticeable vibration but that was mainly from my convex rear view that was rattling against the stock one and the hood where the rubber stoppers had to be adjusted.

So what kind of a shop would have a press to swap these out? And would I need to only get the old ones pressed out and then I can put the new ones in?
And as I understand it, 2 of the 3 are pretty easy to install? And then the 3rd one is kind of a PITA? Is that about right?

all 3 are fairly easy, the rear mount just takes extra time, what i did (but i had a lift) was removed the drivers wheel, the midpipe and spipe and the exhaust heat shield above the begining of the midpipe. you can gain access to it from there even if you dont have the car up on a lift. it takes a little longer then the fronts but you DO NOT have to remove or lower or touch any bolts on the sub frame.
also i've had mine in for about 6-8 months now and they are still great

got mine today, gonna work on putting them in this week/weekend. You don't have to drop the engine cradle to get to the rear one do you? lol did that for the front sway bar and it was a BEOTCH. Other than that, no major questions. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Seems like everyone else is happy with them 
!
And why did i get 6 Hawk Brake Pad brochures in the package too? lol trying to tell me something Paul? too bad there aren't coupons in there too
