Talk To Me: Polyurethane Engine Mounts

@Merlin, when you install a traction bar the oil pan will be unprotected, right?

No the sump is fine. On the Innovative traction bar there is still the place to mount the lower cross beam, the beam that runs the length of the engine bay down the middle. Even then if you don't want to use this beam the sump is not the lowest part of the car. The Innovative traction bar itself sits very low, it is what I constantly hit things off.

Thanks for the info.
I was planning to replace the rear mount with Hasport 62A but from what I hear they also cause a lot of vibrations. So I'm going to fill a stock mount with 50a polyurethane to try to reduce these nasty vibrations a little bit...

With the 85a I can hardly see out of my mirrors, when stilling still idling, due to the vibration.

I am a bit skeptical that changing just one of the mounts will reduce vibration.

Haha. There is some theory that the rear mount contributes the most vibrations to the chassis, but I will be able to tell you that for sure after I get my car back from the paint shop (within a month, I hope).

which is why the 5g rear mount has a huge ass chunk of metal on it

I'm tired of all the vibrations caused by the Innovative Mounts... I'm not arguing whether they are bad or good, but honestly I feel as the whole car is going to break any moment. I removed the mounts, drilled them with 8 holes each, but to no avail. The result is a little bit better, but nowhere near something acceptable. I'm currently considering HardRace rubber mounts. What do you thing of these?

I can sell you a 4G OEM rear mount with the ES insert in it (fairly cheap) if you are interested?

This, but leave the rear one alone, the engine feels solid with no additional vibrations.
