The AMS kit does not replace the factory side mounts. It replaces the factory side mount rubber bushing with aluminum bushings. In the interest of getting less noise transmitted into the cabin, he has replaced the aluminum bushing with a Whiteline poly bushing.

alot of vibration like solid motor mounts, yup it's noisey do I care about that

NO! , It's a very nice peice if you can live with that

 

Woah! Theres a lot I could say here, but I'm going to keep to myself.

On another note, all of this BEEF is making me hungry...

 

oddly enough no i do not. its garage kept all winter and i do not drive it untill spring time. the garage is heated in the winter and a/c in the summer. i dont know why all that rust is building up but it is heart braking.

Ill promote AMS Products, even without a EVO now, Had this in my car, and if i buy another evo some day I will install another one! Its a easy install as well.

 

He does live in new jersey afterall lol.

 

I know I should let this thread die with all the arguing going on, but I'm thinking about using the buschur side diff mounts with the stock mustache bar. How would you feel about that?

 

Id do a mustache bar and save 13lbs before id do the supports to save 5lbs.. Add the solid bushings to the side supports if anything..

Even David himself said that people that ordered the bar are getting a free set of the bushings. So I think it's something that has to be done all together.

I just ordered the avid race mounts and I don't want the rear diff knocking around because of the added stress.

 

Recently had the AMS Moustache Bar Eliminator installed. Yeah, it saves a ton of weight! I was a bit surprised at how the sound of the shifts changed as well. Given my car is pretty stripped inside so everything is louder, but it sounds almost like a dogbox or like you're banging gears w/o the clutch! I personally really like it.

Zero problems shifting or driving with the upgrade. I tracked it all weekend and put it through it's paces - all good!

 

Yeah, it does sound a lot more like a dogbox - even with much of the sound deadening still on the car.

What is the weight savings on the Buschur piece?

 

Great part IMO. installed one on a customers car a few months back and it's definitely solid. Transmits a bit of diff noise to the cabin, but he's also lacking a backseat cushion and has solid side carrier bushings in the rear diff as well.

 

will the moustache bar with side diff mounts from BR be any good for circuit racing/time attack?
any time attack cars running it?
am considering it but not sure if worth it or stick with stock?
cheers guys
