yeah, there is a patch of road that i used to get bobble head, now when i hit that road, i didnt notice it at all, i went over it again and again. big bumps your going to get bobble obviously, but small ones are annoying, but now over small bumps.. NO MORE BOBBLE HEAD! im 100000% satisfied.

Mine is a DD, and I installed yellows on the stock struts and top mounts. I got an improvement in handing and more importanly (to me) the car looks better at the lower ride height, which was my primary objective.

It would be good to hear from someone who has driven on yellows with and w/o hardened top mounts. I imagine that someone with this experience would be rare as most people install new mounts when they to the springs.

The aftermarket mounts are more rigid, so they should nominally firm up the suspension. This is probably something to consider, if you are going to track the car competitively or if performance is your primary objective. Once you head down that road, it's worth considering camber plates in place of hardened mounts, as the stock setup is only capable of negative 1-1.5° up front. Mine maxed at -1°.

I'll be honest, the yellows take some getting used to on SoCal freeways/roads. Orange Co is not bad (5, 55, 22, 405), but LA is rough (5, 10, 405).

If I were to do this again, i would be considering RCE Blacks with lowering camber plates. With that said, I am happy with my install.

^ top mounts on the front and rear or just the fronts?

I think that they are more important in the front.

I questioned my top mount purchase after I installed them. granted, I installed everything at once but I truly don't see much of an improvement in any aspect with them vs. stock. but that's just me.

Just installed my Yellows with Öhlins fixed perch and I couldn't be happier. This is coming from super track stiff Zeal's though.

My v2 yellows went on last night with the supplied shorter bumpstops. Wow, what a difference, even over the v1. Similar stiffness, but much more travel. Great job on the re-design, guys! It looks like the car is sitting a hair lower than it did with the v1s...

Going to try to get an alignment today to finish it off.
