A Story of Three Motor Mounts (GGP, TS, OEM)
Finally installed it myself today. Took me like 3 hours because of my tool set failing (basically got what I paid for from Harbor Freight 125/35? piece set for $35). I borrowed a 1/2 torque wrench from Autozone and bought a ratchet with a cheater bar - that's all I needed for this job with the guidance of the TS video.
Overall, I love the difference the mount made. The engine seems more sensitive when I begin to release the clutch and the increase noise and vibration isn't too bad at all. Also, when I throttle, the engine sounds pretty friccken mean hahaha it put a smile on my face.
I don't think the installation was too bad, especially for me that knows almost nothing about cars. I'd definitely recommend this upgrade even though I barely had it on for an hour.

I called and left messages, no call back. I was even emailing Geoff Pakis. But the email conversation has stalled.
Maybe I was overly pushy with wanting updates and stuff. But I really want to buy this mount. If it takes much longer for anyone to get back to me I'm just going to go with Torque Solution.

i'm one of those guys who have never experienced another mount other than the OEM. What causes me hesitation is that I've seen videos of the TS mount on start up and it does this jolt that kind of worries me even though it seems like normal behavior. does the GGP jolt when you start up the car like the TS does?
If anything it jolts less. The factory mounts are soft (too Soft) and induces a lot of exhaust system movement. But to feel the advantages of having a stiffer mount it would be more noticeable for those who drive manual transmission cars.

The TS mount is the same stiffness as the soft bushing on the GGP. If you guys still cant get in contact with them, you might want to try and contact PTuning. They're gauging interest to make a Motor Mount with 3 Available Bushings
I just got off the phone with Energy suspension and they are now telling me that they will be ready to ship on Thursday 4/26/12. I have a huge list of people to help. I will let everyone know the second they arrive. I already have things boxed up so I just need to print a label. I wish I had control of the situation, its out of my hands. I apologize that it has taken so long to get these together.

Did I miss something? I thought the GGP was a full replacement mount? Or are we strictly talking about the ES inserts which I was not aware of at all. Hey Geoff, I noticed you're located in AZ. Where about in AZ? I can do local pick up.
