I had no idea it could make so much of a difference. The shifter was more precise as well. When entering corners at a pace the car felt like 1 sweet road-carving piece instead of 2 or 3. Tire sidewalls, springs, shocks, anti-roll bars and engine mount all working in harmony. And my car had no vibrations or obvious engine twisting issues before hand.
Were new side stops included with the mount?

As for the ECS Tunning parts.

Kinda pricy, but the yellow street version seems pretty slick.

This set on eBay is right in the middle of the ones at ECS with 75A durometer bushings and much cheaper.
