New Product @ TTR - Turbo Tech Racing STOP Transmission Mounts!

Sorry Maven, I over looked this will all the post trying to respond to them…
OUR mount moves in BOTH directs, however the critical direction is alignment front to back, as you can control this. The up/down you cannot control, as you as a suspension guy, knows the A-arm does not stay in a static position, it also moves up and down and you can never achieve an alignment, in a drivable alignment in this aspect. Overall tire diameter would change the output alignment, as drive over bumps/cracks in the road, movement in the suspension will also move. Why did we move up/down? We needed it to pivot around our upper mount, along with keeping the distance from the front and back transmission mount the same distance apart, as the bolts would not fit up as they should.
Hope this helps.

Would you recommend using these with your upper mount or will it defeat the STOP mounts main purpose? I didn't know if a stock mount would be ok with these, or if these mounts would stress the stock motor mount. I still have the upper mount and the old inserts from you.

Either way, you can run the stock upper and just the STOP mounts
OR
You can run the TTR upper and the STOP mounts, OUR mounts are designed to work with the TTR upper mount.
For max performance, if you can, get both.

love the limited engine movement (crisper shifts and no harsh drivetrain shock), but hate the vibs during the winter......most of all, I hate the tiny bit of wheelhop!
I need to think about this since I spent over $250 last year on all poly mounts from you. lol

have a question...not sure what has happened but this should stay on the point of constructive thread.
what material is the mount made of? not the poly bushing but the mount itself. To me, it honestly looks identical to another mount that has been on the market for almost a year. What makes these mounts different other than the poly bushing?

We chose poly for one main reason, control of the movement. With the proper amount of bushing ratio, vibs can be minimized, by dampening the harmonic motions the engine produces. We tested these and the testers have found the ratio to be very approperate. These mounts are to be the complete package, including reducing engine movement, a contributor to wheel hop.
Hopefull spring time
Takes months to desgin, test, and get ready for production.

yes they may look similar but please tell me what the difference is. On intakes there is something that makes them different then the next...same with springs (spring rates, drop, etc). Can't the same be said for mounts?

We have to let the testers show their photos. None of the test cobalts, had any showing of wear. They look just like new after 1,000's of miles. We have made mounts for many many years, this is nothing new for us. Durability has never been an issue.
Anything else let us know.

Bushing diameter between the stock castings are slighly different (SS/SC VS SS/TC), I am sure this is what he is refering to. However being these are 100% replacement from the factory mounts, this makes no difference, and is why they are for both applicaions.

Have had previous issues with TTR saying that something fit the LNF when it didn't.... (I will not elaborate in this thread however...)
Thus, it was a legitimate question on my part... I wanted to make sure that some with a tc actually tested these.....

so what is the difference in these mounts? They look similar and yes so don't springs and intakes, but there are many differences between those......so what is the difference in these mounts to the ones that are out there?
