Driving today I felt no difference between the front wheels and back when they hit something in road. I made a point of aiming for rough surfaces.

Does anyone know whether the front subframe has similar mounts to the original rear mounts?
I did the Nolathanes on bone stock suspension and was definitely a rougher ride. But my shocks were definitely worn out and probably blown. On these cars the shocks get really stiff when they're blown so thats probably the reason why I felt more NVH.

The front subframe is rigidly mounted to the front chassis supports and body and has no rubber mounts.
