i haven't pulled the ttr mount yet, so my vibrations felt will most likely go down.

17 and 18mm sockets needed.

torque on the mount to subframe is 40ft lbs on both of them

front mount is cake walk. two 17mm's and an 18mm and it falls out. i did this on a lift tonight in about 15 mins tops. with air tools.

rear one is a bit more technical to get out and swapped. not hard if you have enough ground clearance

really can't see the rear one too well it when it installed. you get the idea though.

dfco is less noticeable when hit. the vibes go away as engine rpm and speed increase. less rocking of the motor itself. i never had wheel hop issues aside from at the track when vht is involved. my tire pressure is set to 34 in the front, and 36 in the rear. did a 1-2 run after i got them in and still rolled smoke off the tires with ease. i can't use the two step to launch the car. meth nozzle is to big. have to drop the hammer at a higher rpm when i get bored enough to do it.

415ml nozzle is a bit big when trying to roll into the throttle.

newp, no bucking. thats more of the driver input than anything else

whats the deal with the last mount you installed,whats up with the bracket,do you still use that bracket?

yes you still need that bracket. its what attaches it to the tranny. the toughest part of the whole install i found was getting the spacers to fit on the bracket with the new mount.

yes. you reuse the bracket on the backside.

i stand behind this 100% on them working as intended. less power is lost when you get wide open, in a sense more is transfered to the tires instead of using it to rotate the engine. dfco entry and exit feeling is bog down is gone. shuddering when the clutch is popped is gone.

these mounts 110% work as they are designed to

Are these the rotated mounts? if so how the space for the tvs? any clearance issues up top?

Pardon, but could someone define "dfco" and "vht".

I ordered mine this morning. So excited to hear they are relatively easy to install.

why would your decel fuel cut off be so rough to start off with? i never have noticed, wait wait i know what you mean now, your talking about say letting up in first and second and entering dfco, you get that horibble lunge foward followed by two clicks of the axels. then when you get back on it, it does the same thing? and you have to be super smooth to avoid this?

is that what you mean? that is much smoother now due to less engine travel/movement?

if so that alone is a big plus, and on a larger scale (DR's and VHT) its going to really shine...

Deceleration fuel cut off

VHT is what they put on the track to get grip.

less motor movement. results in less issues with engine movement. duh! smoother engagement and disengagement

did a 1-2 run in the rain. which lasted about 10 ft. zero hop. my car in first in the rain would hop. doesn't hop anymore

You want to use the stock mount since its more flexible.

snow report. everyone with stock mounts, or a ttr engine mount has this problem. 1st gear in the snow. let the clutch out. the car will hop.

with these mounts, this is gone. zero hop.

i took the ttr mount off, put the stocker back on. vibs are 90% gone. you can use it with the ttr upper. however, they are designed to be used with the stock side mounts.
