It looks like they will. If you have more questions about them, you might want to call PTuning. You've got me looking at them now too.

They are a must if you have a manual. Plus, you can't beat the cost. Pretty east to install also.

I put Energy Suspension motor moutns on my last car ('99 Cougar), and they made quite a difference. Torque steer and wheel hop were noticably lessened.Can't beat the price, that's for sure.

thats one of the drawbacks...it shouldnt be that bad, much better than having wheelhop

We better forward this link to GM so they can add these to the "Automatic Only" SC kit to quell the wheel hop that is supposedly holding up the release of the manual trans package...

Madbill>>> How hard are these to install??? I figured you would probably know.

I haven't looked at the Vibe's mounts, but usually they aren't too hard to change. Generally you can loosen all the bolts on one mount at a time (to keep things in alignment), put a board under the oil pan, biased towards the mount you're trying to remove and jack the engine up enough to slide the old one out and the new one in, run the bolts in finger tight, repeat with other mounts, kinda shake the engine around a bit to make sure it's "settled" on the mounts and then torque all the bolts to spec.

I ran poly mounts in my Dodge Neon mostly due to a very poor front mount design (easily failed and oem part was $70) it vibrated the whole car. Took alot to get used to it, then finally an aftermarket mount was available so I went back to the smooooooooooth rubber. They are a must have if you do frequent launches.

based on the price they look like a very good deal since i do frequent launches and i do get wheelhop at times. do they come with instructions or a diagram where the stock mounts are?

Well, i got them in already!!! 36 hours after placed order!!!! I love ptuning.com I have to wait for some warmer weather to attempt this, but it doesn't appear too hard, only prob is the directions are just general, not for any certain make or model. Here's a pic
