Stock mounts have much more give to them. The mounts are like all the other bushings on our cars, they are filled with filled with a grease or oil, and when they tear, its oozes all over the place. When I went to replace my oil pan gasket, I opted to raise the motor to give myself clearance, this way I wouldn't have to drop the cross-member and screw up my alignment. To make a long story short, I tried to use sockets as spacers for the added room on the bolt where the motor mounts are. When I used a pry bar to raise the motor, the motor mount literally compressed and the fluid came oozing out all over. The Nismo's are a solid polyurethane. None of that oozing crap from them. I've seen the mounts as well, they are really nice. Be prepared to feel even more resonation from the motor with them also, as they don't flex or move like the OEM mounts do.

I have the Nismo mounts on my car... I was going to save them for the motor swap but i decided to install them. I noticed a little difference in acceleration... and also cockpit vibration. The car feels solid though... i think they are a good investment.
