is the Feed Engine Torque Brace worth it or should i get motor mounts instead?

make sure you have good motor mounts (dont have to be solid) just good. and get the garfinkle brace. I have 1/2 of it now and it looks really solid. I have an ebay special installed and this thing is wimpy compared to the Garfinkle brace. The GF brace is also cheaper than the feed brace.

Does the solid brace add vibration? Gotham's brace looks like it has a dampner. I need something to help my shifting but didn't want all the vibration.

I got mine from www.corksport.com (http://www.corksport.com) but I don't know if they have them for the FD. I thought they were a good price back then.

EDIT: $599 + shipping for Mazdaspeed mounts. Pricey.

I still make the engine torque braces and they are NOT solid .The link has rubber bushings on each end to allow some engine movement and no vibrations .
