Low Durometer Aftermarket Front Motor Mount
So I bought a blox not really knowing there was a difference. Well it was way too harsh for me for daily driving. Tons of vibration in the cabin and steering wheel.
I don't know what durometer the blox is, but does anyone know what the lowest aftermarket one is? I know a few companies make them (ams, powerflex, etc...). But I'm trying to figure out what the softest one (still stiffer than stock) is.
Thanks!

Yeah you can drill little holes around it to soften it up. An aftermarket motor mount period is going to cause vibration, but you have to realize what good it does, and how much stress it takes off of everything. I am not big on the big vibration either, but I love my blox for the performance it offers.

Might I suggest utilzing the original mount and filling it in with a 60A or less durometer polyurethane filler. You can purchase this from various online sources, as well as local home improvement facilities.
Google DIY Motor Mounts and you will find very informative threads and how-tos.
Good luck.
