so who sells the front mounts for $50 bucks?

 

Forge, who provides them to the market, and a bunch of vendors on EvoM who buy them from Forge. THey should be $50 everywhere.

 

Anyone installed the whole set of mounts? I know the rear mount would be a pain to install.

 

how do you press that stock bushing out? especially with a vice.

 

nice, i am going to get the mounts before the stiffy then...

 

The mount isnt that bad to do in your garage. Chisle, hammer, 20 minutes and you're done.

 

There are more than one motor mount bushing out there available. I got the purple Powerflex one. It is a nice, high quality eurethane product from England I believe. I did the install myself. Ive heard that some of the other ones are super hard, almost plastic, so maybe that's where the vibration gomes from? You really only need the lower mount from what I can tell. I guess if you got up to 500 HP or so, you might want to replace the others. I get no problems/vibration turning the AC on. My car is a 9, maybe that makes a slight different (different ECU) in the idle quality? Another reason the EVO 9 is far superior to the 8! (Just kidding guys!) Maybe others are more sensitive to vibration than me. I did the install myself using printed up write-ups I found here and at SoCal. If you can find a press for the old bushing, you will be glad you did. The install take probably 1 HR, the hardest part is the undertray. I love this mod.

 

I might have to give this a try once I get some spare cash.

 

just called and ordered mine, i,m just praying i dont get any annoying vibrations.

 

You will get vibrations. Whether they're annoying or not depends on your personal threshold for such things. I don't even notice mine anymore except occasionally at very low speed when getting the car started moving forward.

 

I take it back... after driving all day today there is a very small amount of vibration with the AC on. It's a very very small amount that doesn't bother me.

 

I just ordered a powerflex, helped a friend install his a few days ago. His car didnt seem to have much vibration. Hopefully mine will be the same.

 

I took my crossmember out and took it to a garage with a press. So much easier than getting it out myself, and they were able to save the stock bushing just in case.

 

Just lately I got a new noise coming from my car at idle. Its a small squeaking noise, probably coming from the front bumper because of the extra vibrations.
