TSW Replacement engine mount?

Anyone who has installed this care to comment on their experience? Wondering how it compares to the OEM mount in terms of NVH and engine stability.

Thanks!

Thanks. Especially for the map of Ohare. That was really helpful.

Tazio - I have done the install but have waited for some high speed runs to do a write up. I do have a question from TSW...is this metal rod on the main mount one solid piece? AutoX may be able to answer this one.
Tazio - Are you married or does a female drive the car?

To date I can say the install directions are spot on and easy to follow. I think a supercharger belt replacement should be done at the same time also.
There is more vibration...but my wife had not complained and she drives the MINI primarily to and from work 3 miles a day...never above 40 MPH.
I will fill you in on other reactions after this weekend. Looks like a great product in my eyes. I am just curious to test drive it myself.

LMAO, sorry about that, I was on the phone when posting, which I find is like texting and driving, both should be avoided.
