today i went for a little drive and i barely even notice the vibration. its also warmer out today so that might help.

put the rear one in yet? let us know. b/c I also have a MSP and Im going to be getting either the m/t or the a/t based on what you tell us lol... no pressure

Update.. the bushings are on his site now.. no pic, but at the bottom it says motormount bushing.. http://www.awrracing.com/pages/store.html

just to confirm, if i want to replace both front and rear mount. I order 4 bushings correct?? Im wondering if it is really neccasary to replace the fronts since that vibration never bothered me.

 

[Mike R]

4 to do both F&R, I'd just do the 2 on the rear. The front didn't make that much of a difference with mine. It's a little smoother, but not by much.

Ok sorry if im asking a question that has been answered in the previous pages... but i really dont have time these days to go thru all these 6 pages....so if anyone can help me out that would be great.

I'm just looking to purchase the front mounts.

What are the CONS of just having the front mounts? Soft auto ones or hard manual ones?

Just having the front mount doesn't do much for keeping the engine in place. You still have a lot of movement. The rear seems to do most of the job. So if you just want the front, get the hard mount.

I plan on just getting the front for right now. b/c I dont have the time to put in the rear yet. what would happen if I got a hard one for the front, and soft one for the rear? total kaos? lol

Are there any CONS for having just the hard front?

vibration? noises? hard idle?

with just the front you will have a slight increase in all things you mentioned... not bad at all though.

Not really. Just barely noticeable increase in vibration and roughness of idle.

So my previous post was pretty much the only cons...none really!

Hey Guys, Interesting stuff, just want to get updates.

I have been driving with front and rear AWR mounts for awhile now, but replacing the rear with auto mounts sounds promising. Is it possible to change the bushings without actually removing the rear motor mount, or do you have to remove the motor mount to put in the auto bushings and there is no way around it? The rear mount was a real PITA.

 

[Mike R]

You have to remove it. PITA. At least it's warmer in Cali. I did mine laying in snow and ice.

I just recieved my AWR mounts with the softer bushings. I installed the front one in about 10 min and will be installing the rear one tomorrow along with the intake manifold and throttle body spacers. There is a huge difference after just installing the front! Throttle response is awsome and the car just feels more solid. I let you guys know after I install the rear one tomorrow! Later, Evan

Aight, it's tommorow and a few. Got em in yet? Would you personally recommend them?

 

[Mach 3.5 Turbo]

Well, I just went ahead and ordered some anyway. I dunno when they'll be here, but there's a group buy going on until the end of this week. Check it out all. I'll post when I get them installed.

Sorry Guys I didn't get a chance to install the rear yet. I was too busy trying to get my intake manifold off. I never got line from the exhaust to intake maifold disconnected so that's why I didn't install the rear. I will try again this weekend. Evan
