They are beautiful and I have never heard a bad word about them. They also come in Shore 60+.

That is God awful expensive. Even 3sx's polys dont cost that much.

3sx polys cost more than the 3sx oem clones. something to think about...

+1 Innovative makes great mounts. They are by far the best mounts we have ever used. They come in 4 different ratings.

Yeah MaxClass has already pimped them and they are the most expensive option out there. If I want polys I'll go with 3sx or Seattle Paul's.

I have 3sx polys and they definitely vibrate more than stock. My stock ones weren't too bad though. I actually like the vibration, makes it feel more like a car.

If I want comfort, I'll drive around with my 4B11 and the only vibration from that is me swaying back and forth trying to make the car move faster .

thanks for that info, yoshi. now i definitely have to think about it. i HATE vibration; but i also don't want to risk anything on this build; due to the power levels being >2x stock.

has anyone run new rubber mounts on a 500+ build? any feedback?

Finally have worked my way down the list of repairs and motor mounts are up next. I know i don't want to do solid motor mounts. Nor am i particularly looking to spend a fortune at 3sx. Is there anyone else out there besides 3sx that sells a full set of mounts at a decent price?

If you are worried about vibrations at all then just get the stock rubber mounts. I have full set of poly mounts from 3SX and they feel like or very close to solids. I feel all the vibrations.

Considering you are pushing more power I think its in your best interest to at least get the poly mounts. You'll just tear the rubber mounts apart again.

I made mine. Cut most of the rubber out of the stock mounts. I purposely left some old rubber for the new material to grip. Duct tape them into a reasonable shape (duct tape is the 'mold') and pour some shore 60 or 80 (I forgot) polyurethane. Let it cure and remove the tape. Works fine for me so far. Make sure you put the middle sections into the right spots or reinstallation will be a bitch.

I was chatting up a tech guy from energy suspension and his magic number was shore a 60. I havent found a supplier for polyurethane but have a bunch of projects to use it on. Care to divulge a supplier?

There are many places to secure some poly. McMaster Carr seems to be the most common one.
