So I found this kit on PR.

Avid Racing Billet Motor Mounts 4-Piece: 90-99 Eclipse/Talon

I am looking at having around 450WHP.

I currently have the poly mounts all around, (the front roll stops are the crappy plastic ones.)

Anyways before the build the car still jerk from the motor moving.

What hardness should I get?

I know I don't want the 90A but should I get 65A or 75A?
 
What are you going to use the car for? The site says 65A are good for DDs and 75A are for street and strip. There's your answer.
 
I have them in my car... Besides the nice look of them Im not too impressed. I had a problem with the drivers side mount hitting the body- Avid contacted me about it, took my info and promised me aa new mount, well... that was last summer. They look great, but I think my old Prothane mounts worked just as well. The 75's work fine for the street you wont HATE them, like I said they dont vibrate any more then the Prothanes did in my opinion.
 
I will be contacting him as well... I used the crappy inserts for front roll stop mount and trans mount. They help a lot more if you get some very large washers on either side of the inserts. This holds them into the stock mount tighter, allowing them to actually help... I have the prothane mounts and would love a solid roll stop and trans mount to go with it. wallet on standby
 
Hey I just installed my avid 75A mounts just yesterday, There wasn't any fitment issue with them, It was a perfect fit. I posted a thread about it.

If you compare the 75A avid to the prothane I would say that they are actually a bit softer that the prothane mounts. My friend's windows/rearview mirror would rattle like crazy and my car with the prothane mounts; and with the avid mounts that doesn't seem to be a problem.

But if your really concerned about the vibration then the 65A would be a better option for you.
 
90A is pretty hard and will stop most roll in my opinion but it is all up to you...
I would prefer the 75A if your going to use the car on the street and be driving for any amount of time. To much vibration will cause stuff to loosen or break and we all know having that our cars done need help with that haha
Plus getting a little annoying vibration while driving bugs the crap outta me...
 
Im gonna have a street car with 450whp.....do I want the 90A?

or just the 75A IDC about vibration.

No you do not want to get 90A for a daily. I got the 75A for my daily, but like I said if your really concerned about vibration you need to keep your stock mounts, because with any aftermarket/stiffer mounts your car will vibrate more no doubt about it.
