I get that the solid mounts will make the shake worse. He still needs mounts, and a solid mount will never fail and the car will drive better.
Like I said...balance job. You can't balance a CF pressure plate with the weights on it. Because they move around.
What happens every time you push the clutch? The weights move, change the balance.
That pressure plate is a piece of ****. At least pull it apart and pull the weights off of it. It probably doesn't need the plate load anyway.
