AMS Polyurathane Motor Mount

NEW!!!

AMS introduces the Polyurathane motor mount for the EVO VIII.

Decreases Motor and transmission movement which in turn improves shifting and driveability.

It has a Durometer Rating of 90A which carries the same qualities as The prothane and Energy suspension mounts found for most popular vehicles.

$45!!!!!

Your existing mount will have to pressed out and the AMS mount pressed in.

This product is due to be released mid month. we are taking preorders via phone and internet now.

AMS are you guys making a rear bushing as well?

I have the front and rear buschur kit, but only opted to install the front one.

Will these bushings cause the tranny, t-case to wear out/damage faster during drag racing?

Using the front insert only shouldn't affect the longevity of the driveline. The main weight of the motor and tranny are still supported by the timing belt and tranny mounts. The solid front mearly prevents excessive motor movement under lots of load. The motor can still stand and squat on the other three soft mounts, making cabin feel and driving charactoristics feel very close to stock, but the urethane front really decreases on roll movement significantly.

some vendor should sell the bushing with the mortor mount bracket. I hope AMS should be the first one to sell with the mount. I don't have the press. I can't push or pull out. And, I don't feel like destroying the good comfortable stock mount. I bet stock bushing is way more expensive.

you know how the car bucks at low speeds when your in the wrong gear and trying to take off again or sometimes when you take off wrong in 1st gear the car kinda skips and hops? Will this help eliminate that engine movement? sorry if it sounds confusing

please pre order these on the net guys

Derek it should help that a little but but that could be related to a BOV or compressor surge issue.

Labor to install this piece shouldnt be more then $108.00

Jeff, if I have them by then... I will put it on for you.

Vibration in the cabin is very slight, most will not even notice a difference.

Quote Jmartinez1170:

"best money I have ever spent"
"slight vibration through the steering wheel, but not bad at all"
"Durring Launching the motor stays sold, just gets ups and goes"
"Under acceleration it feels like a stronger Car"

he just came into the showroom and spoke very highly of the mount.

thank you sir, we are are glad you are happy

Eric
