im pretty sure they dont get any softer, ive had mine for awhile and still the same, if they were to get softer then wats the point in hasport innovative etc making stronger engine mounts if there gonna get soft again? prob best go with poly inserts like phillip

if u want the softest ones id be looking at 60A, 70 + will kill u unless u wanna track. if i were u go for the 60A, hasport only make 62A so id be a tiny bit more stiff but i doubt id be that noticable

i have headers installed with a loud exhuast, I want to be rid of the loud exhaust and was wondering if I could keep the headers and use the stock exhaust, or am i better off leaving it until i can afford a fujitsubo exhaust?

just get a high flow cat on stock exhaust with ur headers, should be fine until u can get enough for rmo1a, maybe u should try the new range from j's racing?

1 more thing i forgot to mention.

apart from rattle noise, the car seems louder after installing inserts. i have spoon street muffler which is quite quiet and i dont know who bad it will be if u have loud exhaust.

Hi guys I recently got buddyclub racing spec coil overs installed in my car and there is a clunking sound whenever I come 2 a complete stop or excellerate hard. I've checked over all the bolts and they seem tight. I think it mainly the fronts that do this. Is it normal? Or is it the camber tops making the noise? Thanks

This depends on your car. For mine, under 5000rpm was ok but over that is quite loud. It will be better if the window is open tho.
