Subframe mounts, which one are you running?

[NJdubber]

So I've got the VF-Engineerinf full mount set and I still feel the subframe can still use a bit of improvement. I'm really leaning towards the VMR mount for the subframe since its solid. Anyone have any experience with it??

why are you thinking you need to go solid? just curious is all.

not sure if this is any cheaper for you though... http://www.hpamotorsport.com/mounts.htm

The HPA is a great solution don't get me wrong but it's like the Tyrol sport bolt fix. I still feel drivetrain moving. For godsakes I've already had to ask VF for replacement bolts for snapping them. Funny thing is I don't launch or race the car, I want a solid feel. I don't want a harsher engine/trans mount, want a subframe solution.

I run full bsh. I dont see the solid insert making that big of a difference over a full dogbone with a non solid insert.

034 much cheaper and no problems yet

Only problem is they are a PITA to install

Hmmm... I'm in the market myself, so I checked the install instructions. Removing the subframe completely is one thing, but I'm a bit worried that they then just say to reinstall the subframe and tighten the bolts.

Aren't they one-time use bolts??

If so, what other important information are they leaving out??

 

[Rolando_TX]

I reused them and no problems here.

They are stretch bolts, yes

Rolando, I'd put a wrench on `em if I were you. I've never heard of anyone reusing those bolts.

034 top and HPA bottom.

I too am looking for something more solid.

I plan on going back to OE engine and tranny mounts with a solid delin insert for the subframe in the near future.
