That "connected" feeling, where you can tell the mount is stiffer - like....if you engage the clutch suddenly it doesn't feel as sloppy pulling off, more like the engine and the rest of the car are one and they all move at the same time forward, not that split second delay where the engine shifts in the bay and then the rest of the car follows.
It's kinda hard to describe, now that I think of it. I mean, you KNOW when you stiffen up that mount, there is no doubt that something is better. Of course you get used to the feeling so it's not as immediately noticed after a week. But wheelhop is very much reduced compared to stock. I guess, 3 or 4 months in it seemed like I was getting more wheelhop than I thought I should, or that I remembered from when they were first put in. You start questioning, and you're not quite sure. But once that group buy came around, and I got the Medival mount and put that in, there was no more doubt, it was back the way it should be.
And even now, months later, I can still feel the "connection" - and if I'm not sure, all I have to do is turn on the AC and I feel that low shudder and I'm back at piece in my mind.
Surely someone else on here can describe this too and chime in?

Thanks for the explanation. I like the feeling that the inserts are giving right now, but the main reason I bought them was for peace of mind. Hopefully they will be satisfactory, but if not I might have to upgrade like you did...
PS How many miles did you put on the inserts before you noticed that they weren't having the same effect that they originally had?
