Okay so Eye8pussies and asg14 were interested in the torque rods and said they knew others that wanted them as well. So, i talked to jim today and he said that he needed a minimum of 10 orders to order the special joint. The price is $50.00 each. Anyone who is interested, add ur name to the list.

More info from those who have had it. What did you notice differently? My stock engine mounts are still in fine shape and even with my 5-speed Supercharged V6 I can still get off the line without hop, etc. What's the deal behind this?

[Chinky420]

the stock engine mount that is replaced is actually kinda like a gas cylinder....it has more free play (up and down motion) than jim's, which allows the entire transmission/engine to vibrate more. this vibration is basically a loss of power, and is rectified by having a stiffer mount w/ less free-play. also, the stiffer mount means less wear and tear on the transmission, since there's less damaging vibrations.

even if you can get off the line w/o wheel hop already, you're still probably losing some (albeit relatively small) amount of energy from the vibrating engine.

personally, what i noticed after the install is that the car idles a bit smoother, is a hair more responsive, and possibly has a bit more power at the wheels (though i doubt more than 1-3 hp, if that).

but then again, this could all be psychological, and jim could just be selling us hopes and dreams (j/k jim).

Good explaination.
Actually what i did notice when i had my OEM front damper or whateva you call it that the engine did shift alot when it was in park.
And when i installed my SuperPro poly dogbone bushin' and Jim's Torque Rod i noticed that the engine didn't move that much. It was more solid.
