Engine mounts issue

[neil1112]

Thanks for the advice man.

Another problem arose, after purchasing stock OEM mounts second hand the mechanics at OTR informed me that the front and side mount are worn out. My concern is that how long these mounts will last as I don't know how much % they have left. I regret not buying brand new mounts now...I've been quoted $560 brand new OEM mounts delivered...$465 for Hardrace mounts shipped from JDM yard..

Thoughts?

If you get hardrace, I think you'll be back where you started in terms of vibrations. I've got them in (track car not daily driver) and got a whole bunch of vibrations which weren't there before - dash, door panels, sun roof, front bumper, rear view mirror (vibrates so everything behind looks out of focus). It gets better once warmed up but if you really want a smooth hassle free ride try to get some OEM mounts. It's a bit subjective though, some will still say they don't notice any issues with harder/solid mounts in but it doesn't sound like you're one of those people.

If you want to try to save some cash try just putting OE side and rear ones in and see if it makes enough of a difference. The two front mounts are easy to change yourself later if you still see the need to, saves more cash on fitting by a mechanic.
