I spoke with the machine shop yesterday and everything is still on track for completion on July 20th. It was indicated that outer portion was complete and the first process of the center section had been started.
The rest of the hardware has been purchased, so everything should be on schedule stated in the description on the Wot-Tech store.

with the 2 solid mount the very very little engine movement i had should be gone now.
couldnt really test anything other than cruising around since it decided to have massive downpours all day and well we all know traction in the rain sucks.
it doesnt seem like it added any vibration, maybe a little bit but the engine feels a little more solid when accelerating.

I have 2 of these left to sell and they are available on the store. They have red bushings, and all future mounts will be black like the one in the picture.
For those testing these, please write a review on the store so others know what these are all about. So far the feedback has been positive, but I expect more feedback with longer testing periods
had a few long drives this weekend and so far its good. feels alot better than my stock mount which is prob 10 yrs old since ive never replaced it.
getting this thing in the car was a little bit of a chore due to the cruise control mounting bracket, but once i jacked the engine up a tad more it dropped right in.
i suck at writing reviews but ill get one up there in the next week or so.

Brandon, do the grand ams have a dogbone too? Poly dog bone rattles the hell out of my car... lol. But with stock 220,000 saggy trans mount and a 130,000 mile engine mount with poly insert it doesn't move much (poly insert helps a ton) and no vibrations.. I wonder if a solid or poly motor/trans mount wouldn't vibrate as much as a harder dogbone.. Or my Beretta is just old and rusty lol... I do think the heat shield was vibrating, but I've moved that out of the way, I just need to put my poly dogbone back in and see if it still makes the same sounds.

no dogbone just a front and back and then the side.
yeah when i first put the front mount in a couple years ago it rattled the hell out of the car but after driving it for awhile i kinda got used to it and after awhile didnt even really notice it. OT but when i unbolted the cat-back pipe at the track it rattled the shit out of my console and all the change in it but that was prob due to the exhaust dumping out right under the shifter.
with the two solid mounts for the lack of better words you can feel the rpm's traveling through the sub frame. it feels real solid driving though. im not complaining one bit just posting up my experience so far with it.
the mount in the back im prob not gonna touch unless it falls apart and at this time i think the only option is stock.
i got this in the front and iirc the bushing is actually delrin so its basically a solid mount.
just got mfuller's mount installed... looks great.. only thing I can say for sure at this time I would highly reccomend that you have a rubber mallet handy
