Thanks for your thoughts BTG. I should add a couple of other details here. My car too, is a convertible with a GS downpipe and a Saabsport exhaust. When i was removing the old,very worn, OEM right side mount, the locating/shear pin was sheared off in the engine mounting bracket. I had to drill the broken pin out and i was not able to drill square/perpendicular to the engine bracket. Im not sure what if any affects this could have.The new engine mount is now sitting parallel to the engine bracket. After my first ride,I shifted/moved the motor so that now the mounting bolts are about in the middle of the enlongated holes in the GS tranny mount. I went for another ride, about 30 miles or so, and the car has "settled" down a bit. The vibrations/feelings can still be felt through the seat, steering wheel, floor pedals. etc. The rear view mirror is doing its own thing)... There is lots of resonance inside the cabin;especially on decell. I will say after about 3k rpm or so, everything seems to smooth out. These mounts have drastically helped shifting, along with great drivabilty improvements. These mounts depleted alot of "slopiness" in the engine bay, handling feels like it will be amazing; did not use much of the stage 3 power yet). Ill give it more time, miles, and maybe there are some "tweaks" to be found)... Over all, it is still a bit too harsh for me..
