Title: which engine uprated mounts?
Post by: flatout on July 23, 2013, 05:48:19 pm
im thinking of putting some uprated mounts in my ed30,i already have the powerflex dogbone insert but want to know what others are using.

and what certain mount5s are like vibration wise,i dont want it really bad.i had inserts on my old dc5 and i didnt mind the cabin vibration in that but just want to keep it fairly liveable really.

are the vibratechnics one woth the money??

I would consider the THS engine mounts, best compromise there is regarding noise and firmer mounts, BSH and Vibratechnics are to solid for my taste  :happy2:

THS vibrate more than Vibratechnics.  I personally had THS, then switched to VT.  100% better and stiffer too.  They also do sh*t themselves like the THS ones do.
