hey guys,

i'm going to be replacing my clutch in the next coming weeks and i'm wanting to replace my front motor mount. i dont want a really stiff mount as it's my DD and a rattling interior will probably get old quick! i saw that AMS offers a "Street" and a "race" bushing. the race bushing is 90A durometer i'm guessing. does anyone know what the "Street" bushing is?

i had looked into the powerflex one which is about 75-80 durometer but i wanted to see more reviews on both units to make a decision. i plan on ordering this week. i already have AMS shifter bushings and my last time at the track i experienced some high rpm lockout with my stock clutch. so i figured next step would be a front motor mount which should help out tremendously along with the SS clutch line that i just ordered.

does anyone have any reviews on the AMS street motor mount (black Bushing)? if so do you know the durometer rating?

which would be better the powerflex or AMS?

 

I dd my evo, have the powerflex front mount. Car vibrates a little more but does not rattle the dash like my friends with solid motor mounts. Just food for thought.

 

cool, i figured a bit more vibration is going to be expected but i dont want a rattling experience. i plan on upgrading cams in the near future and i figure something not to stiff should be fine and still help with shifting

 

Ive heard good things about the powerflex mounts,but have no first hand experience with them.

The blox mounts wer pretty popular. my friend had them in his Evo and there was very little vibration barely noticeable,but they definitely get the job done.

 

Ive got the blox front engine roll stopper. Works great it was a night a day difference upon first stratt-up. Plus for 75$ you get a billet mount pre-pressed. I havent noticed any difference in vaibration. If anything it helped take out all those little squeaks. I would do the front engine mount and rear tranny mount thats all thats needed. The cam gear mounts are what make the car vibrate.

 

get the BLOX. i got mine from speed element, a really good deal. It comes anodized black or bare aluminum. 70 bucks

 

Our front mount for EVO8 is $45 plus shipping. If you only change the front engine mount it will control the engine movement and will not add enough vibration for most people to even notice.

The vibration comes into play when you change the front and rear or worse all four which just isn't needed.

 

I run the powerflex and have 0 complaints - I bumped up my idle some and no vibrations at all, car is civil as it was with the stock mount.

 

I have some Ralliart Grp N. engine mount and Grp N. front motor mount inserts for sale if any of you are interested.

all brand new for $69 shipped for all 3 (two side engine mounts and front engine roll stopper).

you just need to press them in.

Let me know if any of you are interesetd

 

I have the avid mounts that not too many people like. I happen to like them. Mine fit perfectly, and hold the motor tight lol. My idle is bumped up to 1000rpm to get rid of the hard idle that my cams caused, and it also gets rid of the vibration thats caused by the mounts. The only mount I dont have in is the rear dogbone, which is not needed like stated before. I honestly think the 3 I have is overkill.

I would have gotten inserts, but I didn't feel like having mine pressed out.

 

man its a hard decision. i guess with ever one i go with if i can sell if it's not what i thought it would be

 

Blox $75 shipped for a billet mount and 90 durometer bushing.

 

I run the Blox as well and really like it. Great all around.

 

I have the AMS front and cam gear mount, a little bit of vibration at idle, only noticable because the rear view mirror vibrates. I am happy with them.

Forgot to mention I am running a racing balance shaft.
