I need some advice on motor mounts, I already purchased the solid Race Roots mounts and I'm happy, but the buzzing during daily commutes is starting to bug me.

I'm looking for something smooth and as close as possible to an OE feel.

I still have my old stock mounts, so I was thinking of filling them with a shore A 55-60 urethane/polyurethane, but I'm hearing that may still cause vibrations. Could I put something in like 30-40 shore to make it more like OEM?

I could always buy some brand new OEM mounts to get the original feel obviously, but then there's the RX-8 Performance mounts that seem to be much better in terms of construction. The main point is that I'm trying to avoid the vibrations and the noise and all that, but if someone tells me the RX-8 Performance ones feel exactly like the OEM ones but are better built, then why not?

Thanks in advance for the help/advice!

 

So you're basically saying you want the feeling of the OE mounts but you don't want to buy the OE mounts...


Just buy the OE mounts...

 

of you want OE smoothness then get OE mounts... if you want a compromise between the solid mounts jitter and OE smoothness... go with filled OE.

 

This has all been covered in those threads.

 

No one has established what will happen if I put a soft urethane into the mounts...

Wondering if that'll work or everything will be FUBAR?

EDIT: I was thinking of using some LePage polyurethane, but the shore is only 25-30. Will that be too absorbent?
