Still waiting. ...  |
Post_break was right, I decided not to use both pieces together. I gave the part to my colleague to use in his BRZ.

I agree with this statement.
Boring out the whiteline part to make the perrin piece fit is the solution to making these work until one vendor decides to change their piece. Personally I wasn't comfortable modifying a part where much effort was spent doing R&D; felt like I was undoing all of that.
Putting them together does remove all the play in the gearbox mount IMO. To truly do it right you would want to stiffen up the engine mount and diff mounts as well.
More NVH is expected as the the gearbox is so close to you and there isn't much sound insulation in the gearbox tunnel.
