Got My New Mounts In!!!! (In RED)
Hi guys, well i got my new mounts in and they look so cool! These things are hardcore. The filling is very solid and not squishy at all, I can already tell that these are going to make a big difference. I'm going to go install the radiator brackets right now and the mounts over the weekend. So I'll post pix of the mounts on monday. Here is a pic so enjoy. I gota say thanks Travis over at Deyeme, his emails were always quick and informative. They are an A+ business to deal with in my book. I hope to maybe buy a few more things from you guys in the future, but for now these things are awesome!

and....
Here are the radiator mounts installed. They are different from the stock ones and don't use the two extra holes, but the filler is a whole lot firmer. Not sure if that really makes a difference though. But it looks better.

What's the benefit of replacing the radiator mounts? Are those just to match/look good? Or do they also help prevent wheel-hop? Does the radiator move around with the stock brackets or something?

Hey guys, well.... I got the front mount in but yesterday it started raining so I didn't have time to do the rear. I'm going to try to do it on thursday but already the car feels a whole lot better. More solid and responsive. I took lots of pics and will post a how to later when I get both finished. Also when I got the front mount out there are holes in it!!!!! And the holes are intentional. Crazy. I took it and could shift the center to one side or the other with one hand. Now think of what the engine is doing in there when it is moving.
As far as the radiator mounts go I know they are stiffer than the stock ones but it was more of a dress up thing for me. I'm really not sure if they make a performance difference anywhere.
here are a few pix....

Yes, they GREATLY reduce wheel hop. Try searching for reviews if you want a more rounded idea of the mounts, but I love mine to death. I never had any need for a LSD because the DMR motor mounts made it unecessary. No large weight transfer, nowheel hop, no loss of grip on launch, no need for an LSD as of yet. ...Then again, stationary cars don't have much wheel hop either. (Of course I ran my car for several months before I blew the motor, so I had plenty of time to experiment.)

The radiator mounts move the radiator closer to the front, so they theoretically stop air from blowing past the radiator. But you'll see that it's pretty good with the stock mounts. Mostly just a dress-up mod.
Can't wait to install my motor mounts!
