How are the vibrations compared to stock? Does it have any particularly bad/worse vibration at any speed or rpm? I had mounts in my previous car and at 68-75mph on the highway it would shake/resonate like crazy. How is daily driving with them? Has the shifter action/feel improved? Sorry for all the questions...........

Shift action is very much improved and engagement is more crisp instead of jerky like with the soft stock mounts. Vibrations at idle with A/C on are when its worst but anything past about 2500rpms Id say is smooth sailing. With the stiffer inserts my engine was noticeably louder and sounded like I had a CAI but with the softer ones its a lot quieter while driving which I actually kinda of like. I liked the aggressive sound before but Im happier that the car is now a little quieter and I still get the benefit of the upgraded mount. Its definitely worth it IMO but definitely go with the 70 inserts.
My goal with this car is to keep it mostly stock but clean looking and functioning but to improve all the things I dont like about it. So far it drives just the way I like it but I need to work on the suspension next. It handles great already but if Im taking a turn too fast the rear will want to wobble out of control which is pretty scary... I plan to buy the Tokico HPs and get a rear sway bar and I should be done. And a nice set of 18's.

^Thanks for the info. I think I will try the 70 eventually, but I am wary of doing motor mounts again after a bad experience with my last car and the negative effects on daily driving/traffic situations. I just installed a full scuba-tank/resonator back exhaust and the TRD CAI (the intake last night), so I am feeling those out right now.
I know in the handling department, the TRD rear sway bar and front strut bar made a noticeable and positive different in the driving dynamics. I also went with the Tananbe undercarriage brace (2-point) and was surprised that the relatively cheap, little part made a positive and noticeable difference.

Yeah I plan to get those parts as well! Ive been curious about the Tanabe brace thing. But yeah I drive through crazy DFW traffic pretty much daily and I love having the motor mount! Otherwise my ish would be rockin back and forth in 1st and 2nd lol.

I got a GGP MM from nurspec, it came with two sets of MM's (assuming one is the new softer set).. but am not sure which is the softer of the two? The "glossy" set was already in, so I installed it with that. Quiiiite a bit of vibration at idle with the a/c OFF, the wifey swears I broke the car. 
Is there an identifying number or anything to see if I installed the harder mounts? I could really only go by feel as to which was softer. I assume squeezing polyurethane to see which piece is softer isn't the most scientific way to tell.
