Prothane vs. Energy Suspension

 

I voted for the Prothane set just because they take a more aggresive approach to limiting engine movement. They chose to reinforce mounts that will limit engine movement much more than the Energy Suspension mounts.

 

I like Energy Suspensions better simply because they increase stiffness but still absorb vibration. The prothane have to hard a feel to me. They just feel like plastic that's about to shatter.

 

Well, I've had my ES mounts in for a week or so now and am thoroughly happy with them. I still wonder if having the two upper mount inserts from Prothane would help though.

 

I voted ES because they are the only ones I've played with. So there ya have it

i would've voted but im not allowed wtf? anyways i'd go with the energies, nice and stiff i have them and i get good wheel grab and less hop it complements my traction bar nicely

I think both are a waste of money. Simply they are just hard rubber. What I did, I just inserted pieces of hard hard rubber between/inside and applied silicone the outside which prevented them from falling out. Others, Have used small pieces of wood and applied silicone to hold it.

Just something to think about..

i just put my es inserts in and i love them, they dont vibrate as much as people say

 

i hate the energy suspension, after I had them put in my car, my car shook like a biyatch. waste of money

So you build a $5000 motor and you are to cheap to spend $35 on motor mount inserts...that is why people blow engines, cause they get cheap on support items.
