quick question...

was it the spoon or mugen motor mounts that didn't make much difference over stock? i remember it was the mugen ones but trying to make sure b4 i placed the order?

thanx

 

daym d0g... pick up 2 sets of the m00gen units and I will install yours at the exphoe.

 

Quit bashing the Mugen Engine mount set!

I saw that Steve just completely siliconed a few of his mounts (one or two were torn), and there was an article in some magazine about a month agon on doing just that (which I would have probably done instead if I hadn't already bought the Mugens).

 

i have the mugens

not too hard core (read cali-vibra butt style)

they use higher quality metal. there is very little engine movement. it also helped out wheel hop

edit: wheel hop not spin

What is the price difference? Spoon v Mugen

 

FYI Marc - Carbing makes motor mounts too

 

shane...cut it out
its between spoon or mugen

wills...for a set of mounts, you would **** with the rear mount?

 

rear mount = cake.

 

I was running Spoon and I loved them. I used to have Mugens and I think they are pretty close.

 

zyg...why did you pick the mugens?

 

NOw the question is which set is BLUE?

 

Mostly because they supply all 5 replacement mounts, OEM based, and I like many of their other products.
I've been running the ES inserts in the stock mounts for 45K miles or so, and was hoping for something a bit "stronger".

 

what about that weird j's engine "dampner" kit that i saw at jdmspect perf ...

borrowed from jdmspecperf

 

hehehe...i wish

thanks for the info ED...

i will most likely go with whichever set is readily available
think king will give me a discount if i order the lowdowns at the same time

Maybe on shipping.

 

I know it is tough, but say no to the jdm mounts...

if you want some really good mounts, look into the new HAsport replacement mounts...

They are full CNC 6061 with a solid insert...

 

i just want something a *little* stiffer
no need for everything to vibrate

 

Hey Marc, Let me know what you decide on. I need new motor mounts now too

 

christian...IM'd ya

 

I had the Place Racing EK B-series mounts. They lasted about 5 minutes before I took them out... EVERYTHING was shaking at idle...

I bought the Spoon mounts and they have been "butta..."

 

i heard that the es mounts were just as stiff as the mugen mounts. true?

 

I used the "Willard Method" for my ES rear mount. Got that **** in too

 

I have the Spoon mounts and I think they are great. A bit more vibration in the cab but nothing major. I’m pleased.

 

The Spoon and Mugen engine mounts are pretty close in performance. Between them, it's really a choice of which brand you prefer.

Both make a noticeable improvement especially in on/off throttle and gear changes. The power feels more direct and responsive.

If your car/engine mounts are still fairly new, then it's possible that you don't notice as great an improvement.

In comparison to engine mount inserts and solid engine mounts, the Spoon/Mugen mounts are by far more streetable while still providing excellent performance. Everyone I've known who has had inserts or solid mounts has gotten rid of them after awhile due to the vibration. They're just not streetable... in the long term, the Spoon/Mugen mounts are more reliable/less damaging to your chassis, car, interior, etc.

 

Get the ones Sackdz just install on his.. thouse are only 100 bux and look 10x better then both
