Motor Mounts

[noahf]

i dont actually know what mounts they are. they were already installed. i know they are solid and look like a very stiff rubber. maybe there will be some identifying marks when i switch them out. the rear view mirror is not falling off, thankfully. i just kinda thought this was what "civic type r" from japan was like. im excited to get them changed out. i ordered online already, i will have to check with Chris on the next purchase.

What I mean is the mirror droop. If you set the mirror and you look later and it's lower. If it does that you can fix it for free.

...I had Mugen mounts on my old GS-R and still do on the current DB8R. They're slightly stiffer, and you notice it both on track as well as around town. The dash can be a bit "louder" if that makes sense. I might go back to OEM on the DB8R now that it's not tracked.

I don't recall specific excessive motor mount vibrations in the GS-R, but it also had a variety of stiff suspensions and came with two bad rear wheel bearings. I measured 89db at pickup.

I would avoid HardRace, they didn't last 10k. OEM might be an acceptable balance between performance, comfort, durability, and price, assuming availability. I would check with Cris @ IRUNOEM parts:

LOL, they were pretty old considering they were installed around May 2005. Sorry about those wheel bearings as I'm sure I contributed the most to their wear. They were still good when that car left my hands.

replaced 3 of the 5 mounts (didnt do the lower mounts to the frame rails on each side, yet) and already a huge improvement. i think its -12db quitter at idle than before. which is a huge change. and the 3.5k-4.5k noise appears to be gone. tomorrow will be a full drive in it and ill report back on full changes but as of now, wow, so happy with the change.

Mind sharing the fix? I don't have the issue but if I or anyone else ever runs into the issue, it would be nice to know
