Poly upper motor (torque) mount review

I replaced my original rubber (Saab) bushings with the 2 piece poly mounts I got from Saabsite.com. Mine were tearing but had not yet ruptured. My car is a '95 CS(E) 5 sp. There is definitely a slight bit more vibration at idle. I will live with it, though. You definitely notice the fact that there is less play in the motor mount as well. My wife drives this car daily and she has no problem with the very slight increase in vibration. As long as it is not at idle, you notice nothing different IMO. Any miss due to a bad plug, DI cassette, dirty injector will be more prevalent. This is in a balance shafted 2.3L engine. I would think that the vibration on a car with the earlier 2.0L engine without balance shafts would be unacceptable with these bushings, though. That is my review/opinion.
