The "dampening qualities" come from the poly material inside the mount.
Ahh, I gotcha. I'll probably try it with the mounts that I have then without the compression plate before I try the other ones. I think they 'might' fit without the compression plates.

I took some quick dimensions of my pedestals, which are as follows:

Driver's side:
2.5" tall
2-5/8" width

Passenger's side:
2.75" tall
2-5/8" width

The energy suspension mounts I have right now are pretty much 2-5/8" wide as well, so the fit is very snug.
