sounds like you left something loose. There is gonna be a little more vibration, but should not be that much.

My car shakes a little more with the AC on b/c of the Prothane motor mount inserts. It shouldn't be violent at all.

Mine shakes in drive too at an idle. Drives my wife nuts, but owe well. I went the reds. I knew they would viberate. Since they are for race. The blacks are for street and do not viberate as bad, I've been told.

How did you support the transmission and engine while you had the original motor mounts out? maybe something could be out of balance? Rubber is soft and absorbs vibrations and polyeurothane does not. I personally think something is out of balance or your transmission could be angry at you.

I have the race mounts as well. Mine just vibrates a bunch more at idle. It vibrates a ton more when I start out in first gear, but I knew thats what it was going to do when I got them. However when I get moving its pretty much like normal. It should just be vibration...if its doing anything more then that then it sounds like something is wrong possibly. In my opinion the race mounts were well worth it on my car.
