Tired of having to replace the OEM motor mounts with expensive bushing replacements for $130+ per bushing?

We are now providing solid motor mounts and replacement bushings for a total package replacement. These motor mounts will create tons of extra space, not to mention planting the drive train to reduce power train loss. Vibrations will not be increased at idle but at higher RPM's increased vibrations are to be expected.

Installation can be completed in 2 hours time with basic hand tools and moderate mechanical skills.

Orders can be placed on our site and include new bushings and bolts.

Race roots motor mount review and installation pictures.

Install process wasn't to bad at all, it was a pretty easy swap and had it done in a 2 hour range, with some rain breaks in between.

I was very surprised on how little vibration there is, at idle its still very smooth. When you accelerate is when you feel the motor is planted around 3 to 4k, its more of a rumble then a vibration. It clears back up to being smooth again and is still a comfortable ride. Again my car is daily driven on highway.
Shifting feels great! there is no more jerky motion anymore in between shifts.

Have you done any testing with these mounts, they don't look too sturdy to me, just my opinion and thoughts.

Yes they have been on my car for 2 years with numerous autox and track sessions on them without issue.

In addition we are using a softer larger bushing so it is not a steel to steel connection.

Does the engine sit exactly in the same spot/height? Do you make these yourself? I'd be interested if you could move the forward hole(screw) on the passenger side which bolts onto the engine, and move it a little back more.

out of curiosity, why do you need this done? The motor does move a little bit, i think or wanna say maybe 1/2'' higher and maybe moved back slightly.

dznutzuk

Yeah, I do swaps so that won't do for me then, I don't have space for that much movement. If it's the exact stock location, it'll work... Oh well...

Gotcha,

Pretty good but i like to know how much room opens up for running a downpipe in that area over the stock location..

Is the vibration a good or bad feeling when felt?

Just installed these motor mounts. The rough idle is gone, but it is LOUD in the cabin when I get on it. Shifting is so much better, I can easily shift while red-lining. I used to have to back off the throttle to get it into 2nd. Overall, I prefer these to the stock mounts. The car just feels better, a bit loud but that is what stereos are for ; )
