Side question, do you or anyone that you know have the Novel Titanium lug nuts? i cannot seem to find anyone that actually runs them. I am looking to buy a set and wanted to see how they look.

I purchased the newer Endless x Novel rotors with the blue top hats.

So I wasn’t planning on doing engine mounts but had a pretty bad vibration going through the steering wheel after getting the novel headers installed. Went with FIGS mounts based on a recommendation from the guy installing them. He has RR Racing engine mounts and notes the FIGS mounts transfer more vibration through the car. It also needed a couple of washer with the mounts to get enough clearance and resolve the vibration in the steering wheel. I guess it’s a lesser of two evils for me.

The parts installed are good. Not a big fan of the FIGS engine mounts. They transfer a ton of engine vibration through the car.

Hate to hear that, but thanks for sharing. I ended up getting the RR mounts instead.
