I see you had to use washers to space the bars for clearance too. I had to do same with GTSpec setup with Progress rr sway.View attachment 226640Recently installed under braces

Yeah, it feels a lot better but there is still some bucking in 1st and 2nd gears while coasting off/on throttle, as well as after some shifts, which still bothers me. No cabin vibrations at all though. It seems like the polyurethane I filled it with was pretty mild in 'firmness' so i'm not sure if its doing much. I have an AWR passenger mount insert installed, and also had the transmission insert installed before, but removed it while swapping the rear mount because the vibrations were insane. My front mount is OEM and I change it about a year ago - wondering what would happen if I filled it with polyurethane too, maybe higher stiffness. It's easy to get to for a swap.Awesome! Sounds like how i did mine too. Hows it feel with that rear mount filled? Mine has 60a liquid urethane and it has a little vibration but ive got the sides with awr inserts and front has a rr insert. I feel it at idle but passengers dont really notice. Comforting knowing itll last a very long time if ive ever gotta do it again.
Logically, this makes total sense, thank you pointing it out! It would be cheaper to fill the current mount, but it wouldn't have enough time to dry properly (since the car is my daily), so I might just buy another one to fill. I've heard bad things about non-OEM mounts, but they're much cheaper than OEM and logically, I don't think vibration would be as much of an issue for the front mount as for the rear one (right?)The front and rear are the roll mounts so if one is filled and the other isnt it might still move/roll. Filling the front shouldnt add any vibes. The rear is the worst for vibes. My front inserts are 90ish hardness and i barely felt it.
Good point, and something I actually thought about a good bit. I filled my old rear mount a few months ago while it was still in the car, and I even left it sitting and jacked up for a week. The stuff eventually squished out after some amount of driving, and didn't help much. I had already bought the new OEM mount at that point and I filled it at the same time, so it had been sitting for a good few months before I installed it on Mon.Also, is the rear completly dried? The outer edge might look dry but inside could still be soft. Ive read where it could take weeks for window weld to fully cure. Not sure about the locktite tho.
