We use sikaflex at work as a sealant for its fire ratings but never knew you use it on mounts... hmmmm
fire ratings?
please explain! i was convinced i was a moron after my gf's mechanic told me so for plugging exhaust leaks on her old celica with sikaflex?

spoon/ mugen mounts are essentially OEM mounts with perhaps slightly stiffer rubberized. And more expensive due to the SPOON moniker.
No other difference.

sorry ron,moron tag remains,lol
the fire rating is for sealing gaps in walls/partitions/whatever that need a "fire rating"
the rating is typically a few hours at X amount of temperature,usually enough to just safely evacuate whatever type of building it is.

very true... not solid at all, just a bit harder... which SEEMS pointless to me since it will have a higher chance of tearing from stiffness instead of flexing like oem mounts... if they were solid rubber then fair enough:

The mass production, liquid sealed engine mount has been changed to a real rubber type, which offers higher hardness without a need for shape modification. The hardness of the mount has been changed from 55 to 70 the spring constant, from 6 to 14 kg/mm. As a result of these changes, it has been possible to realize a sharp steering characteristic; furthermore, it has also been possible to almost eliminate unpleasant vibration in the idling speed range, where this is often a reason for

i've got some aftermarket ones atm and was thinking of getting a set that doesn't vibrate the interior. sounds like they might be ok for what i'm after!
