I went with the black bushings because I did not want a lot of vibration..took only about 15 minutes on the lift at work...very easy install. Just by looking at the stock mounts I can tell that these would be a huge improvement...I know people say that it helps with smoother shifts. I didn't really notice a huge difference...maybe once I get the UUC EVOIV installed I will. Anyways to sum it all up..its a really easy mod, worth the money, and only takes about 15 mins to put in.
It took me a while longer since I had only a few inches from my chest to the underside of the car.
I felt an immediate difference in shifting and overall feel.
yeah luckily I have access to a lift at work and I could stand under my car....I'm sure it would have taken longer if that wasn't the case

So i take it you both are very happy with the upgrade from the originals. I was debating whether I should do it or not!
: An EVO IV?Originally Posted by sullen723
Anyway, I upgraded to the red bushings last August, and I did notice a significant difference in the overall tightness of shifting during spirited driving. And for me, there wasn't any increase in vibrations or noise by using the red bushings, fyi.

I also want to do this mod but can't decide on the black or red. So is there much difference between these? I don't want too much vibration. Is it noticable from the red or black? Thanks.
I don't know the difference between red and black, but I went with the red w/ TME and I am completely happy, I'd suggest the same.Originally Posted by eXpLiCiT

So you didn't notice any extra noise or vibration after the install?Originally Posted by ponq
I tiny bit noise.Originally Posted by eXpLiCiT
If I was concerned with what little noise there is, I'm sure if I loosened and retorqued the mounts I could remove the noise completely.

You guys might as well go with the red. I have them think they are great, no real vibraition to speak of.

The infamous "Paul E." and I after some detailing...
I have both, the reds are in right now and the blacks are sitting in the garage waiting to be put in. When I installed the reds I also did an x-brace, SSK, and a Dinan rear brace. I did notice more in cabin noise so I ordered the blacks and will put those in and see if the noise gets reduced. I will post what my findings are when I do.

i just installed my red's today... i do feel some vibration, and cabin noise... im going to try to retorque them tommorow... i think i went to tight. hopefully that eliminates it somewhat.

I'll wait for your results on these...I need to get these ASAP.Originally Posted by RUQKENF
I'll PM you if you don't start a thread...
my reds with enforcer cups were too much for me...i felt a ton of vibration and NHV when reving the motor so i took them out and sold them (even after torquing everything back down to only 17 ft/lbs)...I'll be purchasing the black ones soon with no cups...
I am switching the red out for the black some time this week. I am using the billet enforcers also.

i have a LTW flywheel any recomendations? bc i alreadY have the chatter.
any write up on the install. ive read some and it seems to me that it will take longer than 15 mins.
I installed the black ones and there is no noise vibration from what I can tell..I have heard from some people that the red bushings create a little bit of in-cabin noise.

Everybody saying that they have not experienced noise with reds or blacks please post if you are using the enforcers also and exactly what color you are using.
Thanks,
