Just ordered a set, excited to get them on!

 

Just got them in. Look like a quality piece.

 

So these mounts won't work if you go FI? I was considering a Turblown setup, more than likely the top mount setup, but my OE mounts are shot.

 

I would like to know this as well.

 

There is no reason these won't work with a FI setup. They are much stronger than the OEM mounts. They will also tolerate heat better.

If the OEM mounts fit then these will work as well, except they won't let your engine flop around in a short while like the OEM ones

 

have you had a chance to install those mounts? if so what is your opinion on them after using them?

 

3k miles on mine, still love 'em!

 

I have six track days on mine...love them too.

They are stiff enough to have the motor firmly attached...but soft enough to smooth out all the NVH that the solid ones I had in before caused

 

Not yet, be travelling a lot with work. Will hopefully do it soon.

 

I installed a set yesterday. The fabrication on them is super high quality and they do the job a lot better than the OEM ones

 

Anyone have a new discount code? All the old ones are invalid.

 

Anyone having a problem with these mounts causing excessive vibration when idling below 2k rpm and on startup? These are way better than OEM filled mounts or cracked OEM mounts, but the vibration you feel and hear below 2k rpm makes me think the mounts aren't fully tightened, although I swear they are. I've had them for about 3 months, since the install, and am curious if I did something wrong, or others are having the same issues, but not posting about them? I know these are stiffer than OEM, but why are they causing the whole car to shake when you take off? Usually they only cause vibration at idle, right?

 

Beat the Crap out of mine. 8-9 track days.

Easy to check to see if they are loose....check them out

 

The mounts will expose even slightly defective low-speed clutch work, or presumably, a defective clutch. Same goes with idle. Did you tighten the long bolts fully? The delrin should be slightly squished.

 

One problem... Mine's sadly an auto. Bolts were tightened back when I installed them months ago, but I might check them this weekend.

 

You might want to check out this "tech tip" about the mount install and PPF


And while you are at it...check out the EXTRA COOL new aluminum mounts Lighter and all the same features of the SS ones

 

I agree. PPF alignment is typically overlooked yet critical.

Also, make sure you can see 2 threads from the bolt at the top (tightening guideline)

BTW, I've had my mounts on for a while now without any issues. I'm happy with the product and with the transaction through RX8performance.

It's cool they came out with an aluminum version of them. I made this point to Scott many months ago and I'm happy he listened and did something about it.

 

Anyone know how to do the PPF alignment?

 

interesting, i didn't know about the PPF adjustment. Is that something that should be checked only if you have had clutch/flywheel replacement, or even when changing your mounts? I filled my oem mounts with poly, didn't know if it was necessary to check the PPF though.

 

If you don't feel a difference before/after mounts, you probably don't need it. I had to do mine after I had my clutch replaced by a shop (which I never went back to). It felt as if they had screwed up the transmission (louder, harder to shift, etc); all of this caused by a misaligned PPF.

 

Factory Service Manual has the official procedure (Transmissions, p. 271). The key step is ensuring that the clearance between front tunnel member and PPF is adequate.

There is an unoficial procedure too.

 

the key step is to set the dimension as shown, it has nothing to do with adequate clearance

the whole thing revolves around maintaining a straight line between the engine, transmission, driveshaft, and differential

if you change the height of the motor mounts/engine position that dimension might need to change ... some food for thought

 

Thanks guys

 

Thanks for clarifying for me. That's what I meant with 'adequate' clearance (ie factory mounts -> follow FSM stated gap).

 

Finally installed them. They went very easy in less than an hour with a floor jack and hand tools.
