AWR Full Motor Mount Set

[alexampeg]

I wanted to share my experience with these motor mounts. I installed the front and rear 88 durometer mounts at first.

Pros: -Overall better "feel" to it
-Much better shifting (the shifter does not move back and forth anymore like it used to)
-Engine response is improved
-Launching the car is a lot better (wheel hop is greatly decreased; traction is also better)
-More aggressive exhaust note and engine sound

Cons: -More vibrations at idle, even a bit more between idle and roughly 1500 rpms (these are even more pronounced at idle when A/C is on)

When I got the transmission and passenger side mount (both in 88 durometer), the characteristics of the car changed again. The car felt stiffer then before, the engine and exhaust sounded even more aggressive and the vibrations were different. Now, at idle (500-600 RPMs), there is little to no vibrations (a bit more with the A/C on) but when I press on the gas and release the clutch, the dash vibrates briefly (less then before) and after that, other parts of the car start to vibrate at different RPMs. These vibrations, although they are noticeable, are not as bad as the brief dash vibrations.

Final impressions: I absolutely love these motor mounts. Sacrificing a bit of ride comfort for a stiffer, more aggressive and responsive vehicle was WELL worth it.

good review.,.,.how hard was it to install?

Installation of the front and rear took about 2 hours and a half hours (80-90% of that time was spent on the rear mount because it is insanely difficult to get to).

Installation of the passenger and tranny mount took about an hour and a half (if I recall correctly, the tranny mount is said to be a little easier than the passenger one).

I had a local mechanic install the parts.

Wow great for review. Is it better feeling fast responds and full torque on the street?

And no need more shock damper right!

It is a much better feeling and car responds much better for sure.

I think you can still get dampers for your engine to make it even better.
