Cusco Motor and Tranny Mounts

amg destroyer · 11-16-2007, 09:22 PM

I really want to get the Cusco Motor and Tranny Mounts soon, but have a couple questions. I know that they are metal, and love the idea that they will be rigid and feel more "connected." However, will all of this newfound stiffness break something else that is more of a "weak link"? Sorry if this has been covered before, but I want to get the ball rolling with this mod fairly shortly. I also plan on getting the Kartboy Pitch Stop Mount at the same time, if that matters..

They aren't solid metal. I have them plus the KB PSM too.

There is a bit of rubber in there, but they may as well be solid.

The engine & tranny mounts will do more than the pitch stop, fwiw.

You'll like 'em though. You will feel much more connected to your car.

Thanks for the input. The car is a DD, and over time they won't break anything will they?

fullerton · 11-17-2007, 05:32 AM

Not that I know of. I DD mine. I've seen no problems.

amg destroyer · 11-17-2007, 05:40 AM

Ok thanks a lot. I think I'll be getting these soon

I've got them too and love them. You will get slightly more NVH, but not much. Pair this with a set of Fender braces (I've got the GT Spec ones) and you are money.

a really good mod, i love mine.
huge difference in the movement, they shouldn't break anything else because nothing is moving around now. there is more vibration though, but nothing bad..it feels awesome

jays05 · 11-19-2007, 09:53 PM

These motor/tranny mounts are awesome. I've had them for a good 10k+ and forget they're even there as far as NVH goes.

It does not cost all that much to get rid of ALL the driveline slack in the STI. Do the tranny x-member bushings while installing the tranny mount, take care of the rear diff mount bushings and outrigger bushings, and your all set

flatthump · 11-19-2007, 10:31 PM

Oh gosh, these mounts are so intense.

wrxcelration · 11-20-2007, 04:30 AM

how is the install on the motor mounts?

WaniuszY · 11-20-2007, 04:59 AM

I'm getting motor/tranny mounts soon too.
Right now I have the TurnInConcepts rear end set coming. It seems to me like that subaru's differential + outrigger bushings are the weakest point.

just as i expected...does it require cherry picking the motor?

fullerton · 11-20-2007, 08:03 AM

you jack it up an inch or two with the oil pan.

there is a how-to somewhere.
