Installing the motor mounts was a pain in the ass. Lying on your back with no help meant many trips back out from under the car to get tools or jack the motor. But it was all worth it.
Sitting at a stop light there is a fair amount of vibration in the steering wheel but it feels so much better in every other aspect. It's a measurable improvement which is more than I can say for some of the other bushing/bracing mods. The car just feels smoother when accelerating now.
The Perrin mounts actually let the engine sit a tad lower which was kind of a disappointment in that it caused the OP to rest on the sway bars, zero clearance. I removed the OP and gave it a few blows with the mallet to create some clearance. It's a 3" OP so it's not like I need to worry about restricting any flow. I only dented it about 1/8" and that did the trick. With some clearance and stiff mounts I finally don't have to listen to the OP banging on other parts. My car is now back to the most prevalent rattle being the 3rd brake light.
