Put some hard ass ones in mine. Not sure what kind, but I HATED THEM. Took them out and threw them. Shook everything.

So when you first put them in, dump all the change out of the ash tray.
ya seriously i try to keep change and ne thing out of the door pockets that can vibrate cause thats the thing that gets annoying cause the lil cab vibrations turns into a big one if you got stuff that can make noise like change or loose cds

did anybody notice an improvement in launching after having 3 of the motor mount inserts installed and then the 2 other ones? ie: ES inserts, then prothane or prothane then ES

Especially with the door pockets. I keep my garage door opener in there but it's not horrible, just annoying sometimes when sitting at a red light with no music on. :x

i noticed a huge difference in launching with the prothene inserts that why i got the ES mounts to just complete it and make it that much better
