I'm assuming it's a solid motor mount, or additional stiffening rod like I've read over on Matrixowners.com. If that's what it is, I would NOT put one on mine. The drivetrain does need some "cushion". The only thing I can see would occur by solidly mounting the motor/transmission to the body/frame of the vehicle would be added vibration to shake apart the car, and added stress on the engine. I fail to see how these mounts would "increase" torque. Just my personal opinion.

If that's the same thing as the torque brace many MO people bought, DO NOT GET IT.They all said they removed it because the vibrations were too violent, and the problems far outweighed the benefits of it...

these arnt as bad as a torque brace. they take stock mounts and fill them with polyurethane adhesive.they are stiffer than stock but not solid.its bassically windshield adhesive and you could do it yourself. but if someone thought of it before me i usually by thiers because i like to support fellow tuners and im very lazy.

I think they might reduce wheel hop on launch, but I think the downsides listed above would outweigh the benefit for most of us.
