Damn. So are they just the stock standard mounts? Why not go poly urethane or something, won't they last longer?

Poly bushes are gonna make your current vibrations feel like foot massages and are totally unnecessary for your car, they are required if your running ben's kind of power because the torque from his engine wrecks normal rubber mounts. A waste of money and inpractical IMHO for your car. And yes they're just stock rubber mounts. What we need is these ralliart mounts but they're not being made anymore so we'll just have to get by.

Also if you do solid mounts you'll have to do it all round, not just 1 or 2.

The bottom 2 are solid, the left and right are not solid.....for a manual MIVEC.

Vectose....Could you please post up the part numbers for all 4, so I can order them from Amamamamamamamamamaayaaa.....and would the bottom 2 come already in their mounts? Thanks :D

EDIT: Bennoz thanks for the heads up on that set that silver posted.

So you recommend solid lower crossmember mounts?

Amayama wants $38 for postage, so $145 total just for the bottom two :? Seem reasonable enough or can we do better?

I can get em local for 126 but with postage to you bits probably end up the same. Only quicker

The ralliart mounts are heaps better than the standard items. My idle is totally smooth now, shifts better and no more juddering under load.

Jive me the measurements of the f/r mounts and I'll see if I can find anything.

Front mount:

Rear mount

http://www.motospecs.com.au/images/prod ... MT8419.jpg

Both can be had for $50.00 each, but the rear mount seems to be not solid, but its for an manual evo.

Not sure about the size so check up first.
