Innovative Competition Engine Mounts?

Post by Merlin » Wed Mar 05, 2014 9:11 am

Does anyone have any input on how different the three types of mount hardness? 75A Track (Black), 85A Race (Grey), 95A Extreme (Red)?

Who has driven with any of these installed?

I have 60A red, and some vibration, harshness, but not too much.. I'm used to it now

improved my handling noticeably, I'm happy with the purchase

From what I hear you wouldn't want to consider anything less than 85A for what you'll be doing.

Other than Lude-dude, I think you need to speak to @si import (95A), @RattyMcClelland (75A) and possibly @Mart609 (75A). The rest (including me) I don't think have fitted theirs yet :lol:

Awesome Nafe! Thanks for the tags.

Lude Dude, there is $10 difference. My Lude isn't comfy anyway and harshness is its middle name already

You have the ES poly inserts at the moment, don't you Merlin?

Will be interested to hear how these compare after they've been fitted.

I don't think there's any reason to have a sad face about fitting the poly inserts tbh. They're absolutely fantastic VFM and do a really good job of stiffening it all up.

Are you going innovate mounts now because of going traction bar (and accepting no front engine mount)?
