28901, What Motor Mount?
Posted by ultimar, Jul-30-02 05:51 AM
Are the energy suspension motor mounts worth $20 or should I get something better like the AFX solid mounts? Right now I get terrible wheel hop and I need to make it go away. TIA

Personally I would just go w/ the $20 motor mount inserts. I've had them for a while, and they work GREAT. I get off the line w/o wheel hop everytime now, but I have also lost a lot of rubber as well due to them.

WORTH it especially if you got a turbo :P 20 bux is a small price to pay but.... they're a bitch to put in!

The Energy suspension bushing will not work in an automatic. The rear mount needs to be hacked badly to fit it, at which point, I don't think that it would be an increase in stiffenss due to the serious reduction of rubber in the mount.
