Howdy,

Just picked up a new 2014 SE manual hatch. I really like it. Although it's a bit less viceral than my 2005 ST, the refinement and smoothness is just fantastic. That silky smooth motor reminds me of a Honda K series. Also, so does the lack of torque. Ha.

Any idea for first mods? I can't think of anything the car is terribly lacking at.

Be warned a stiffer dogbone / RMM will reduce that silky smoothness you rave about in your first post.

to the OP Kam327 is spot on. If ya want a stiffer mount and keep a good amount of silky smoothness, the FSwerks insert is a great alternative and cheap at that.
