SOLID front/rear aluminum motor mounts!

I still don't think these mounts vibrate that bad. It took all of 10 minutes to get used to it. Before the motor let go, I remember catching myself forgetting that I had the solids in versus the prothane inserts.
 
THEY'RE HERE!!!

After a few weeks wait, they are finally here. They look great and can't wait to get them in.

Now the only thing that bothers me a little bit is the amount of room on the front motor mount for the bolt to go through. What I mean by that, is there is A LOT of room and the bolt has plenty of room to move around in there. Here is a picture of what I mean:

Now should there be this much room for the bolt to go in? I don't remember it being that much. Do I have the right bolt going through there (It's the one that I set aside).

As Steven has previously mentioned, the aluminum is mirrored from the original mount. So all the dimensions including the diameter of the cross bolt hole is identical to the original mount. Mine is the same way. It won't cause any issues. You're fine.:thumb:
 
Romeen covered it. My front roll stop on my own car looks like yours. Just to keep the confusion and potentials fitment issues or problems to a minimum, we do them just like stock. We have debated many times on wether or not to do this, but with some people's chassis' being tweaked, wrecked, different or have cross members bent or something, we just replicate what we start with.

And in your case just like everyone else, the rear(small hole mount) is the most important.

Steven, from some of the pictures, it looks as though the mounts are repainted? Are you guys doing that, or are the owners of the mounts doing this on their own?
 
I knew they were identical to the stock mounts but wasn't sure if the bolt needed that much room to move. But thanks for covering it :thumb:

And mine might have looked painted but all I did was just clean it up before I snapped some pictures.
 
Okay. I had planned on getting a set from a junkyard and either media blasting them or something, then sending them out, then painting them when I got them back. I still haven't been able to make it out to the yard where I think I can get a set. :(
 
I got my spares off eBay. They're accepting best offers for them. I offered $10 for each mount and I got them. I'm ready to ship them out but I've been so busy with school, installing new parts, and maintaining a social life.
 
Just got mine as well, unfortunetly i had them shipped to my powdercoat guy to get done like my other ones :thumb: but from what im told, they look great

I painted mine after getting them back, mainly for rust protection. A few edges of the mount housing had been grinded down a bit exposing some bare metal. So I masked off the aluminum and sprayed a few coats on there.
 
How do these compare to poly mounts? I have the full poly motor mount kit installed in the tsi, I'm used to the rattling now.
 
these still selling? i was wondering that the other day havent really been looking around the site lately, hopefully ill be sending my mounts soon to get done :D they all look great that ive seen on here
 
I guess another review wouldn't hurt:

I took out the car for the first time in about a month and this is what I noticed with the new mounts. Now keep in mind that with me I went from 4 stock (rubber) mounts to front/rear solids and passenger and driver side Poly's. And I changed them all out at the same time.

Whoever said something about feeling the starter engage when starting the car, you are exactly right.

VIBRATION: The vibration to be honest is not that bad. The only time that the vibration gets a little annoying is start-up, downshifting, and at about 1800 RPM. But other than that it's fine. I have my idle set at 850 and there is just a tad bit of vibration (feels like a massage).

SHIFTING: Like others have said shifting improved greatly and there is not slop at all.

I didn't a few quick pulls and it responds great. When shifting the engine doesn't feel like it's going to rip out of the car anymore. It feels like the whole front end is just more solid.

There is deffinately a more race'er feel to the car.

Now my only concern (I don't know if you could even call it a concern) but is while on the highway and deceling there is a noise that sounds like a slight grind or zzzzzzzz, maybe? I don't know what it is or if it's normal with these mounts but maybe others have had the same noise?

All in all great product.
 
^^^ EXACTLY ! ^^^

He's not there to answer 20 questions on whether or not you should do them.

I had NO problems with contacting him or hearing back from him.

But then again, My only questions were to confirm his PayPal address and shipping address.

I sent him the mounts and got them back in a reasonable amount of time and all at a reasonable price. :rocks:
