Motor Mounts

[WhiteDevil]

Ok well i did do a search on this and found some good info. But none of the old threads really had anything about if people got Urethane motor mounts and either liked or disliked them. Im definitly getting new motor mounts for when the new motor goes in. So people that have made the choice did you get stock replacements or urethane mounts? Were you happy or unhappy with you choice?

I went with the energy suspension motor mounts when I put the new motor in and they seem fine. I never drove my car before the swap so I can't really compare the two.

Ok, so u dont really notice any harshness or anything that makes u dislike them?

No, I think ride harshness will ultimately come down to spring/shock/strut combination. With the pro-kit and bilsteins it's pretty forgiving, yet provides good handling. I'd say go with es mounts and forget about it.

wellllll my motor shook like CRAZY when it had the factory 110k rubber mounts and now with the urethane mounts it dont shake at all. its much smoother to drive and was probably the best $100 i spent on my car

You shouldn't notice any harshness or anything. Just make a note, replace your trans mount and motormounts at the same time with the same type of material. You don't want to have stiffer motor mounts and softer rubber tranny mounts. I think they sell a complete kit.

On another note, I can't remember if you did poly mounts when you did the tranny swap.

Either way, I am sure you will be happy with the results of a swap.........
