they lok almost like spoon ones
does anyone know wot tool i could use to tighten the bottom end (of the actual damper)
it becomes a lil loose after a while over time and i hand tighten it.
what are they for exactly sorry ive nerver heard anything about what they acctually do ? i get the general drift? support then engine and what not but is there more to it?
their better than having solid mounts imo.. but that one you posted above looks chat....Quote:

Shipping will be heaps more than that... you may as well get the INGALLS
does the same thing as solid engine mounts, prevents the engine from rocking on acceleration or hard shifting which translates to instant torque transfer to the gearbox then to the road...Quote:

I've got the Energy suspension motor mount inserts on the bottom 2 mounts,haven't done the pain in the ass rear mount yet...and I'm planning to do the top 2 mounts the same way.Is it overkill to use a engine torque damper aswell?
Maybe,do you know or think it will be a better combination to have the 3 lower mounts as ES inserts and the torque damper and don't do the top 2 mounts? The vibrations atm are nice but anymore may be a bit much for a comfortable daily...
This is interesting,to get the right combination.
if your set on getting the damper don't bother doing the rear mount... does the exact same thing :thumbsup: not worth the effort doing the rears trust me... i would rather pay $100 for labour... i ended up doing one on my own after bennjamin showed me....Quote:

You'll have a bit more cabin noise since it's attached between your block and firewall...It's totally worth it though.

Thanks guys!
That's great to hear dsp26 as I've had this rear mount for ages....I doubt I'll ever put it in.
Nice,a blue NRG looks like the go then :)
Will it still be worth doing the top 2 mounts with this?
nope... pretty much don't need to do any of em with one of these unless your motor makes so much torque that you shred your mounts.Quote:
