I can sell you my AWR front and rear (front is about 5 months of use and the rear is brand new - automatic/88 durometer).
This discussion is primarily about the inserts.

MM inserts installed! RR racing and AWR
After doing some research on the board, I've decided to go with RR racing front and rear inserts and AWR sides to save $$ and lessen crazy vibration everyone's been talking about after installing the full mounts.
The front was by far the easiest of all to install, took less than 20 mins.
The passenger side wasn't that bad either, people complained about having a hard time getting one of the inserts over the metal thingie, but I didn't have any problem, what I did was I used a screw driver to wedge it over the metal. Now comes the pain in the ass driver side, I know some people didn't have any problems, but when I tried to bolt the mount back into place, the holes wouldn't match up due to the thick urethane. But after hours of trying different ways of mounting the bracket, I can only get two screws in. While I was ready to give up, and put the stocker back in, I got three, and than four!! So, if you run into any troubles, just keep trying, you'll get it. As for the rear mount, I'm not even going to tackle that, I'm going to wait until I get the clutch and flywheel install.
Overall impression, it definitely feels more responsive and the vibration in the cabinet is tolerable and worth the trade off.
Thank you guys for the "How-To", it made the install easier and me as a non-mechanic more confident.

yeah i did all the mounts and inserts myself execpt the rear, i had a mechanic do it will he was installing my headers. when all of the inserts are installed the vibration was just a little over stock, the side inserts made a world of a difference.
Great write up carbonkid, thanks!
I have the front & rear AWR motor mounts (70 durometer) installed right now. The vibration is very noticeable but bareable. Glad to hear that the side inserts will lessen the vibration, so I think after getting the side inserts everything should be good.
I was wondering do you need the jack to support anything on the passenger side? On the driver side, you use a jack to support the tranny.
Thanks in advance.
