well i only installed the easy on on the fornt of the car. took me all of 5 min to do it. The hip hop is gone!!! woooooohoooooo buuttt the car vibrates and sounds louder due to the mounts. that to be expected. I would say these are a must buy for any one that goes to the track to race. b/c you can buy the mounts just to go to the track. the front one is so easy to change, you can put in the stock mount to drive around and change to the AWR mount to go to the track!!!
installed my AWR motor mounts!!!!

well they were very tight!! but my solution was to spray DW-40 on the nuts. then i took a 1/2" drive socket wrentch and took a piece of cooper piping and put it over the handle to the socket wrentch so it made the handle longer. it's plain physics. longer handle equal less force needed.
once i did that the nuts came off pretty easy.

rear mount install tips(long)
I have both mounts in my 2001 LX ,As people have said the front is easy . The rear however is a pain to change with the engine in ,good news it can be done ,I did it .
You will need to a few people to help . First jack the car up as high as you can support with jack stands . For tools you will need a 17mm inpact universal socket and varios extensions .
Step 1 .remove the intake hose from the TB to the MAS ,this allows access to the main wire harness,there you will find a plastic bracket that is held on with 10mm nuts ,remove these . Then pull the wire harness out of the way .
Step2 using the 17mm universal socket and the extensions losen the 17mm nuts .
Step 3 From under the car there are 3 bolts in the trans that must removed ,used your 17mm socket and an air gun ( theses suckers are tight )to losen the bolts . remove the bolts .
step4 Back up top remove the 3 17mm nuts
Step5 go back underneath the car ,there is a 10mm bolt that must be removed from the lower bracket then you can remove the assembly with some twisting and swearing the mount and bracket will come out . Put on the new mount . And reverse what you did. This is were the extra people come in you need 4 hand to put it back together.
