Did you change the motor mounts as well as the transmission mounts, or just transmission mounts? I just bought the 75A transmission mounts (not yet installed), no motor mounts, and was hoping the NVH wouldn't be too extreme with just transmission mounts. I also have the RS flywheel and don't consider the small amount of chatter at idle a big deal at all. Is the NVH effect of these mounts much more significant than that?

Did a DE at Sebring this weekend. A noticeable difference with the new 75 mounts. Glad I made the change.

Like others said, the LWFW chatter gets VERY noticeably louder after the install. Not cup car loud, but halfway there. Haven't pushed the car yet but the consistency of shifting feel is much better now. The car does feel tighter--enough that the difference will show up in a blind (and deaf) test.
One of the rare cases where a couple hundred bucks (incl. install) changes the perception of the car entirely. Highly recommended for track use. But not recommended for those that sees more street than track--it'll just make cabin noise intolerable. (I have the 75A and it's already the way above original noise levels and I run side bypass which covers up a lot of that LWFW chatter already. Now the LWFW is the loudest thing I hear, even when I lift off at 3krpm in traffic!!)
Also note that once the OEM bushings are pressed out of the mount they can't be reused (they deform too much on being pressed--even if they look okay their durability is compromised)

^ Yep. I'm luvin it. Really feels like I got a new & different car. Like it took a noticeable step towards pretending to be a cup 
But since it ain't one, I'm gonna call it my GT3 saucer.

I have lived with mine for a while now and wouldn't go back and I do a fair amount of road miles. It just makes the car better- more responsive and positive in every way.
Thanks

Any of you guys have cup cables ?
I learned that the addition of the cup cables transfer a lot more noise than the bushings itself, and the combo of both makes it noisier of course.

OEM shifter cables. It's plenty loud now, at the bare threshold of tolerance for me. Wife can't hear a single word I say at the lights, unless I clutch in and silence the flywheel chatter
