durometer? you claim that it will fit EVERY evo owner's needs... i wanna know durometer that can satisfy that... 1200hp sounds like it'll be a rattle can ride at idle.

Thats funny, trinydex. One of those paint mixers at lowes comes to mind

But, I would be interested in a set! I posted in the GB thread. So PM me when we have some definite direction. Thanks!

In your picture, the mount on the right side (front lower mount).....are the screw holes countersunk? I know the factory piece, and a few pther manufacturers pieces have a flat spot where the bolt sits.

The aluminum is machined to an angle, which means the bolt will not sit flush, unless the hole is countersunk.

Your not the only one who saw that... however, frequently the pics you get are "pre-production" pics. I'm sure the end product is machined properly, or the hardware is provided for.

The durometer of the inserts are listed already in the first post if you read you will see them listed.

Just tried installing them about an hour ago and the transmission mount wants designed properly. We are having to use the stock transmission mount for now. I'm taking it up with Avid.

Max yes there was a slight problem thank god we are working closely with RnR and Avid to get this fixed there appeared to be some numbers that were incorrect. As with any new product there tends to be some fitmet issues on the first batch. This problem is being worked out as we speak so just be patient and a solution will present itself. There were problems before on the SRT4's mounts when they first came out and franklin and everyone at Avid made sure the problem was corrected in no time!

Price has come down to 415 shipped, also the problem is resolved, it actually turned out to be a problem with the hardware kit not the mount itself.

However for the price these will crush the competition, and are true performance mounts unlike other "Motor Mount" kits out there.

Ok after talkin to Franklin at avid we are able to go to 399.99 shipped. The other company selling them for 349 is the company offering a group buy. Here is the link to our site, and for the next few days we are still offering the 10% off everything we sell the coupon code is 10PCOFF
