yes yes powerflex bushes to mean you get increased vibration.. People seem to be recommending the r32 dog bone mount for less vibration and still stiff..

ive been running a powerflex bushes in my dog mount since last year and i dont get any vibration. I suspect this is because my other engine mounts are still in good condition.

its not likely to bed in, mine has been on for nearly a year and it still vibrates but thats part and parcel with having one in the first place
