engine mounts

Post by poeticjustice88 »

Ok so I have noticed that there are a couple of different ideas floating around for engine mounts. Some people are using solid mounts, others are using mounts out of the NA models rather than the Turbo series.

For a DAILY DRIVER, what would be the best mounts to get. I need all four to be replaced.

So is it a case of NA front dampener, NA rear dampener and two Turbo series side mounts? or Solid Mounts or what ?

The NA front and rear mounts are NOT dampened. In fact they are just slotted rubber mounts that do not control the engine at all.
At least the ET shockies do something.
If its a daily and stock9ish) car then leave it stock.

However, the rear engine mount is the most important but most often overlooked item.

If this one is replaces with a nice stiff rubber urethane bush and the other 2 large mounts are attended 20, those small front and rear shockie jobs can be ignored.
