Is the NVH only bad at idle? My dad and I put a transmission brace w/soild rubber mount on his A4 and the NVH isnt bad, but its noticable at idle, but only at idle.

I just drove from East Lansing to Grand Rapids. Scott (biggsvT28) was with me and he felt the steering wheel and the NVH is minimal at best. Granted I believe I installed mine correctly. That is after I installed my motor and drove it around some...I loosened up the bolts on each one, and set the car down and turned it on to let it idle for a moment. Just to get the engine straight. I then jacked it back up and tightened it all up. Seriously guys, my dads brand new accord has more NVH on the steering wheel than my contour.

Mine is only noticeable at idle, and that is only because my car has been idling low lately. If I bring the idle to wear it should actually be, there is no vibration at all. Feels like stock with just a hint more vibration.

We'll harden you into a man at SZ....nothing a teabagging and soapblock filled sock won't cure! 
I did not install them. The shop that did my headers did it. When I saw him do it, the car was on a drive on lift and a loong jack supporting the motor or tranny (cant remember straight)
what is the correct methood of installing? and having it installed the wrong way, will it effect my car badly?

That method is ok... but you might want to loosen the front and rear mount through bolts and see if the engine "settles".
For me... I get minimal NVH as long as the rear mount through bolt is at the top of the mount tube. If I start getting some decent NVH, I loosen the rear bolt and the rear of the engine usually drops... or else I have to pry it back down. I'm not sure if this is "normal", but this is how my car is. The minimal NVH is felt through the steering wheel... nothing rattles from it.
My front mount is solid 94a as well... so is it possible that untouched front mounts, or ES inserts don't balance out the resistence? I thought I read here, years ago, that if the rear mount is filled then the front should be too, or the front mount might get trashed.

or if you want we can try to 'relax' them first to see if you really want to get rid of them.
