Default Rattling & shaking still coming from my engine bay

Hi everyone

My story is like this. I had my motor mounts replaced due to a broken motor mount that was causing trouble. Me being the type of person that really wants his car running perfect wanted to buy OEM motor mounts but the tech at the shop i took it to reccomended Innovative Motor Mounts so I went ahead and took that direction.

The engine runs stronger now and that rattle is gone, but when I'm at an idle position or taking off from 1st coming out of a stop light I feel this vibrating so strong that the catchers from the ragtop shake.

Also, traveling at about 35-40 in 4th gear. i press on the gas and the vibrating is there once again.

He tells me that its normal, but i seriously doubt that. Its embarassing when im at a stop light and my passenger and i can hear the vibrating. I just want it to sound like it did before the motor mount broke.

Any ideas what can be the cause of this.

Note: he used the standard innovative motor mounts not any race type. Thanks guys. Any input will be helpful

id imagine its normal as well. Stiffer motor mounts will give you more feedback, the good and the bad.

I have a turbo eclipse with after market motor mounts and my sun roof goes nuts from a get up and go. It's annoying but sometimes you have to sacrifice certain comforts to get performance
