Anyone have a megan racing front engine mount?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Megan-Racing-Engine-Mount-fit-Mitsubishi-Lancer-EVO-8-9-USDM-Front-Engine-Mount-/150943933195?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2324f5a30b&vxp=mtr
found this megan racing front engine mount on ebay. It is 70A on the durometer scale which seems to be less than other aftermarket solid mounts. I just plan on replacing the front because I don't want too much vibration. This one is a little cheaper than others that I'v seen. Any input welcome, I just cant seem to find any reviews on this one. It's either this one or the torque solutions front mount. Is this upgrade even worth it? Thanks

Just remember, you get what you pay for. I would spend a little more and get a better brand

Yeah, I agree but is replacing the front motor mount even worth it? Or should I spend my $80 elsewhere?

It's worth it but it's not the kind of thing you want to do twice.

I went with the torque solutions front mount. Hopefully not too much vibration

I just thought I'd give an update. I just installed a torque solutions front motor mount and so far I'm impressed. I has seemed to make shifting into second gear easier. It also seems to have changed the sound of the exhaust slightly which seems unlikely but it have a different note to it now. It seems to have made the car a little louder while cruising. Overall very pleased and no vibrations to speak of. Would for sure recommend to anyone thinking about doing this mod.

I have the Megan one, installed it a month ago and made a big difference. I chose is because its a 70A. Zero vibrations and smoother shifts and less bucking at low speed cruising. I was going back and forth between the Torque Solutions but looks like both are good options!

read up my review of the boomba racing motor mounts. Ive been really happy with the results. I installed the rear mount first, got a bit of vibrations that eventually quieted down after breaking in. After installing the front roll stopper mount the vibrations quieted down a bit more than just with the rear mount alone. I have video of the exhaust change differences to show folks thats not a myth.lol

Maybe a clutch but the front motor mount is easy to do once you remove the oem undertray.
