Whats the vibrations like with the Prothane engine mounts dude? Hectic or bearable?

I personally love it, so far i've just got the front and rear engine mounts and the gearbox insert mount in and its made a huge difference. waiting for my coilovers to arrive before throwing in the suspension-related bushes. It definitely makes a huge difference though, i found gear changes a lot smoother as the engine DOESNT move ahahah, the entire car shakes though and the vibrations can even be a bit droney at times throughout the rev range
