Engine Mounts

Doing an engine swap next month and getting parts all ready.

Should i put in new engine mounts as a good habit, or is this just overkill and should i just examine the old and make a judgement call?

I'll have 4 to pick from.

Also The stiffer mounts, are they a good thing? does it increase vibrations much?

thanks guys.

If they were stock mounts, I would replace them. Each one will most likely come off in two pieces. I am running Mazda comp mounts and they feel fine.

New mounts are always a good idea.
Mazda "comp" mounts are always a good idea since they are *cheaper* than the stock, softer mounts.
Go figure.

I am running solid aluminum ones and they are a little vibrationey(-2sp?) at take off til about 2500rpm then I can't tell they are there. no noise either. but def replace them. I would go with the mazdatrix/mazdaspeed ones. they are like 35% stiffer than stock. good choice overall.

Either that or Rotary Performance. They gotem for 40 a piece but there suppose to be twice as good as the originals and noise free. Just a suggestion.

Thumbs up

CORKSPORT, At that price I'll have a pair as long as postage to the UK comes in under $20.


Do you guys accept Paypal?

We do accept paypal. I put them on the shipping scale and they weigh just under 4 lbs. They will ship first class post which is $29.60. It is the cheapest method available.

1x oil drain washer
1x gasket from uim to lim

Do you have all these for a S5 turbo 1990, If so how much, beacuse postage isn't much more to ship upto 20lb
