I just installed my Z1 Mount last week -

It's suppose to come with Energy suspension bushings that's about a 90 in hardness, I got some 70's from Energy's universal kit. I am pretty anal about adding and NVH into the cabin - as I don't wanna totally change enjoyment of driving my Z. I also added a couple pieces of Second skin's damper pro - it's similar to Dynamat for Car audio purposes. The Second skin is thin metal with a rubber dampener attached to the metal - probally 1/16 or so in thickness. I cut a couple small 2.5" round pieces and added them to the top and bottom mount then put the bushings together with the 70 duro bushings. The nice thing about this mount is that you can set the preload - to be very stiff more of a race car feel - or whatever you want. I want my tranny to stay in place but not add a ton of noise into the cabin, so I didn't preload it that much.

Install if pretty straight forward - just remember to support the Tranny when removing the stock mount.

Driving impressions at first - at 4000 rpm and above it sounded mean and aggressive. At idle at first it made my engine sound like it was missing as it added a little more vibration.

But's it's been about 10 days or so - and maybe it needed some breaking time - cause that idle vibration seems to be gone. Above 4000 you can notice the engine reving. At normal crusing speeds you can barely noise anything. But the best thing - taking a corner mildly quick allot of the times with the stock mount I couldn't find 3rd gear, this mount makes it allot easier, as the tranny stay's put.

I will try to post more later, but so far thumbs up.
