my FD is a daily driver with solid mounts.



But if you want mounts that move less than the stock ones, gotham racing sells the polyproleyne(or whatever) motor mounts.

Gotham sells mounts, but i believe they are made by Rotorsports Racing. You can also get the mounts directly from Rotorsports

I installed the Gotham eurothene mounts this morning.

Fairly easy install.



Remove the scatter shield.,

Loosen the bottom motor mount nuts at the subframe

Jack the engine up from the oil pan.

Loosen the six 17mm studs

Remove the old ones

Place the new mounts in.

Start one or two threads of the bolt to the subframe

lower the engine a tad

start the 17mm bolts

Tighten them up all the way and lower the engine down

Reinstall scatter shield ...





Dont feel much of a improvement in the throttle.

Maybe a tiny bit.

Car interior is obvioulsy louder.

Car ratttles more..



I'll drive on them for a while and see if they grow on me or not.
