Straight from the horse's mouth 8)

"These bushings locate the differential housing and greatly reduce movement. You'll notice wheel hop is reduced or eliminated and much improved shifting. The shiftingimprovement comes from the trans/PPF assembly not rocking back and forth as much. Take a look at your shift lever when you let the clutch out, that movement is your motor and diff mounts letting stuff move around. The ES diff mounts will transmit a little more vibration but nowhere near as much as sold Delrin or aluminum mounts."

why don't you buy the full energy bush kit for like $350 or so?
it comes with the diff bushes and you might actually feel a difference when you drive the car,
i hate to say it but of all of the bush kits i have put in, there is no noticeable difference between the ones i put the diff bushes in and the ones that i havent
