    Be prepared for increased clutch wear also. Launching the car from a stop will require more clutch slippage to get a smooth transition from stopped to moving. Since there is less "give" I guess.

      I also went with the softer mounts. Any more vibration, and I don't think I would enjoy it. I have noticed that the wheels spin a bit easier. I get good launches at less RPMs.

          Thanks for the advice folks. I think I'm going to order the AWR mounts, the softer ones for the automatic. That sounds like the best compromise with the least work.
