Hi folks just got done installing our first set of these recently and I must say they look as always top-notch. For those of you into reducing chassis-flex and ridding our cars of neoprene/mushy bushings these new RSS performance engine mounts might be the next logical step.

With factory hydraulic engine mounts, the drivetrain will move independent of the chassis during acceleration, deceleration and cornering loads. This movement can upset the balance of the vehicle and create negative handling effects. These performance engine mounts minimize such effects by utilizing specialized polyurethane bushings which offer a firmer, more direct driving feel with optimum feedback. This upgrade will not adversely effect ride quality or cause knock sensor issues commonly associated with solid engine mounts.

As with all of the RSS gear it's made here locally in California. You can eat them up here: http://www.sharkwerks.com/products.php?pid=336

 

Very cool. Look forward to hearing driving impressions of before/after.

How involved is the installation process? Any recommendations on when to pair up this install with other scheduled maintenance work to save labor?

 

It's really not that bad. Just need to hold/support the engine from below while swapping them out. Most places do it in an hour or so....

 

Do these keep the engine in the stock position or do they lower them a bit? If they lower the engine, can you tell me by how much?

Also, are you making or planning on making a transmission mount also - with urethane?

Thanks.

 

There is a DIY that was created by mikymu - check out the DIY sticky on top of this forum. Pretty easy swap.

 

Damn!!! I'm a few days late.
Just had some RSS Sways shipped up from you guys, would have added this to the order. Next on my list for sure!

 

Ah no worries let me know if you still want a set- I'll ship it free
Actually that was always a nice trick with the older air-cooled cars eh? Not on these ones no there's no noticeable difference like that as far as lowering the position.

 

Ok.... pulling the trigger on these!!!

Alex - could you ask Dan (or you can) give me a call on Monday Morning for payment info. He should have my details - but sent you a PM anyway.

 

Alex, let me know when you have an hour to spare and lets drop these bad boys in!
