Do you know if the mounts functionality declines over their age? Or are they good up until they leak?

RE: Engine Mounts
nice, you do them yourself or pay someone and did you also do your snub. ive replaced everything but the engine mounts so those few small vibrations are either those or the track density tranny mounts and snub. also how much for your projector lamps. id buy them,

The difference is night and day! I was having a sickening shudder when shifting under hard acceleration - gone. Vibration at idle strong enough to be felt through the floorboards - drastically reduced. There was also what felt like hesitation when accelerating from a stop...turns out, that was from the shot-to-**** engine mounts, too. The car is way, way better to drive! If you have any of the above symptoms, definitely look into replacing those mounts.

I'm asking $110 shipped for the Depos, but I have to mention that the lateral adjustment screw on the passenger side headlight is probably stripped. This doesn't make them any less functional and the beam pattern is fine, they're just harder to align...I just loosen the screws and move the whole housing to adjust. I ordered new corner lights, but they haven't come yet, so they'll be brand new for whoeever buys the lights.

Did your stearing wheel shake when at a stop?

I did them myself and no, I didn't do the snub mount...I've heard it produces a lot of vibration with the tip transmission.

RE: Engine Mounts
I noticed my car was clunking slightly last night when accelerating hard from 50 mph to 75 mph. At first I was thinking maybe the new control arms/ball joints or tierod went bad already on the passenger side from all the potholes in the roads out here, but I guess it could be the engine or trans mounts. I am looking into it later today when I get the motivation.
Congrats on finally getting the one piece headlights like I told you to a few months ago - when you said the clear corners were the "last stop", then one fell out.
