AWR Mount Question

[SpeedThree2K7]

I'd like to get some people's thoughts on this theory I have. I am considering buying the AWR rear motor mount, even though my dealer said they will void my whole front suspension warranty if they see an after market mount. I fear that having 1 mounting point that is more rigid than the other 2 ( I believe our cars have 3 motor mounts) will put excess stress on that particular mount. The stock mounts will have the same "give" as before where the new mount will not. Wouldn't you think this might increase the risk of breaking the new mount? Wouldn't it be more wise to wait for a kit that replaces all 3 mounts to come out?

Let me know if this makes sense to anyone else.

Thanks all!

I'm not sure how they could approve the mount caused the problem, but just save your old mount and spend 30min. putting it back on if you have a problem.
I just put mine on today hardness (70) and the shifting feels better, I do notice some extra vibrations mostly at idle.

I'm all for putting the mount in. I agree with the solution for the dealer issue also. I guess the bigger question is my theory of the extra stress on the after market mount while leaving the other 2 stock mounts in.

I thought that was the question to begin with. In retrospect, it would relieve pressure on the side mounts due the engin not moving from left to right on the axis when boosted.

The stock mount is a joke, you can move it all around with you finger..WTF
