Medieval front motor mount installed!

[callITaDAY]

I just installed the Medieval front motor mount, and WOW (boom06) what a difference! The car feels really solid at lower rpms. Starting off from a dead stop feels a lot better, and the car feels more responsive under heavy throttle. Overall, I'm super happy with it and I will be looking into doing sides and rear mounts. (lol2)

Wait until you get the rest of them...

 

[repthemazdas]

so are they really that good??? cuz i want to get them but they seem like a low ass brand?? i want awr but if they do the same thing well???

 

[hornsfan10609]

I have a passenger AWR and Medieval for the other 3. Don't be afraid of the medievals, they will work just fine. The AWRs are worth the money, but the Medievals are definitely worth the savings, plus if you message them He may give you a discount.

 

[repthemazdas]

ok cool ill see what i do thanks....

after everything that medieval put this forum through, i'm surprised that they are still being recommended on this forum. sure, he'll give you a discount if you mention him you saw a review on THIS forum, since he's banned here. a quick search for "Medieval" or "Darkstar" will show you why.

buyer beware.

So far I love the difference from stock. The Medieval mount uses 70A durometer urethane bushings while the AWR uses 70A durometer urethane bushings, so the AWR would be stiffer. I think the 70 is spot on, there aren't any crazy vibrations in the car like some people report with the AWR.

It sucks that the manufacturer is shady, I actually bought my mount from a member on here so I didn't have to deal with Medieval directly. But, if you want to take a chance dealing with the company's BS it's a great product.

Just checked, looks like it's only OEM spec mounts on ebay

 

[repthemazdas]

i could o swore there were some thow...

 

[Outlawstar98]

I have full Medieval mounts and they arnt to bad. Going to upgrade to full AWR's one day with 88Duro. Medieval is only 65 I think.

 

[repthemazdas]

how much were they?

 

[Outlawstar98]

No clue, bought them from them when they were on ebay for like 300ish? I never had a issue when them but thats just me. I actually got free Pulleys from them! LOL

 

[hornsfan10609]

I paid $110 for a barely used AWR mount, and $150 shipped for all three remaining Minerva mounts plus he threw in a v3 lightweight medival PS pump pulley for free. You can find them at minervamotorwerkz.com.

 

[Outlawstar98]

^LOL thats is the same people as Medieval and MAM. So Warning everyone there has been ALOT of people scammed by them.

 

[hornsfan10609]

That was apparent to me once I read the lettering on the pulley that 'Minerva' sent me. Beau or whatever his name is.

Put the rest of the mounts on and you will change your mind.

They no longer have an ebay account(Not sure why). The website prices are significantly higher....Not sure if you can still haggle prices, but it couldn't hurt to try.
