Anybody used ZZP's motor trans mounts?
Seeing if anyone on this forum has used or thought about going to ZZP's transmounts. I never hear much about the mounts and don't know how different they are compare to other mounts like TTR, OTTP, and Avid. Thanks.

after you get any aftermarket mounts installed - get the wheels aligned, as a preventive measure, it will prevent premature tire wear.. stock factory mount are soft which the wheels have +/- toe/camber from the factory, installing semi-solid mounts the wheels will have -/+ toe/camber.. getting them aligned will help you drive straight down the road..

I have both of the ZZP mounts, they're great no problems at all! I've put 16k miles on them..

We use a rubber bushing on the trans mounts so they should not increase vibration. We have developed them on our Cobalts and our cars have no wheel hop. Currently they've helped get our track 60' times down to 1.6's in Ryan and Matt's car and that's the best on the forums. (Ryan also did 1.5's but that was with wheelie bars)

I had wheel hop when I first got the car, but from not knowing how to drive her, but once I learn how to drive her.. never had wheelhop once the mounts were installed..
I got the mounts to get more traction to the street, for me they were a best buy and worth every penny.

The vibration is min but with the solid mounts its normal.

I do know how to drive and I never get wheel hop with my cobalt, now my old eclipse I got some major wheel hop tho.
so you said mounts give you more traction on the street? how so does you car now hook up in 2nd or do you have less TQ steer?

they are ment to do the same job but they are not the same...the bushing size is crazy different. so is the weight difference. ttr uses poly bushing which is junk. theres a thread lurking around somewhere that shows the differences between the 2 and the powell mounts came out on top. i believe on buying higher quality parts which in my opinion the powell mounts exceed and suprass ttrs

well this concludes this thread. Guess the two top choices are ZZP or OTTP then. TTR just needs to do some R&D on some rubber bushings and get rid of poly.
