So I find that over at Crossover Auto they have replacement motor mounts (urethane) for the passenger and drivers side coming out soon. Anyone know who makes them?

Does anyone know of any in development that are more of a solid design like the TRZ?

Good. That's exactly what I need actually. Thanks for the update.

trz dcide not to make them. the side mounts result in very minimal added support. and the vibration is nasty !

^^^ A buddy of mine put poly inserts into all 4 mounts on his RSX. They were taken out a week later due to the fact his back couldn't take the vibes going through the car.

Myself, I don't mind NVH if it means a better driving experience. I'll be watching the development of these mounts.

i think it'll be fine. they're a must for the big turbo guys (for safety i would think).

they look like vf engineering mounts.

the best option for daily driven performance cars is go get a good lower mount and a torque damper. the lower mounts can get rid of about 90% of driveline movement. and the TQ damper will greatly reduce the amount of movement that remains.

I'm assuming you mean 8/07, because they couldn't have possibly built your car in the future. (rei)

takes about 15mins from what i hear, i havent done it but all you do is jack up the tranny to support it while the mount is being replaced

I hope they updated everything... I got mine a week ago, I guess it was built around June/July 2008 time frame... I need to go check my date...
