Solid Engine mounts

[Deleted member 66701]

I've got Nylon mounts on my Westfield - they are one step down from solid, one step up from poly - and boy, can you feel the vibrations though the car. It suits the Westfield but I wouldn't have them on a general road car like a GTO.

NVH goes off the scale when you do this, definitely not for a road car.

lift the engine slightly, fill the OE mounts with Tigerseal.

Did this with the exhaust bushes for my old Clio 182 which were renowned for being poorly made and it did the trick. I wouldn't do it on engine mounts, though.

Voice of reason has spoke and gone the OEM route , i like the idea of solids and the general consensus of them in the GTO is there not to bad (sub frame is rubber mounted which helps apparently) but i wont find out until there in and then its to late, may as well just go oem for now!

Have a set of poly's on the Legnum, and it's fine. Were cheaper than new OEM ones, so bonus!

Mitsubishi can be stupid with there aftermarket prices, though in this case even if i wanted mitsu parts it would be impossible, none existent in Europe and couldn't say about Jap either!
