You do get some quite bad vibrations sometimes... but they are very strong and have lasted on my engine/gearbox fro 8years+ and i don't drive like a fairy lol.

Still i quite like it really, gives the car so feel when your driving hard

They do loosen up a bit over time, my originals were shot so went to these as a fit & forget. Heard Collins ones are a bit softer than Vibratec, some advise not to fit the gearbox mount though. I'm going for a new standard gearbox mount.
