I see what you're saying. I do have the relocated tq arm too.

 

I am pretty sure the only thing that is still kind of hitting is the over the axle pipe contacting the upper panhard bar. I wonder if UMI's relocation kit would fix that, hrm...

 

i have a slight vibration at 600-800 rpms when in gear and i can feel the cam when on the highway. it's a reminder i'm driving a muscle car.

 

how much closer are the headers to the ground after you switch out the motor mounts

 

Solid motor mounts make replacing a clutch a living hell.

Other than that they're nice

This comment takes the cake!

 

I didn't notice any difference in ground clearance.

I do remember reading that. I guess I'll have to deal with that when I change my clutch.

 

I installed Spohn solid mounts in my last car (98 M6 TA), and when I need mounts for my new one I am going with Spohn solids. Easy install, and made the car fun to drive again.

Vibrations werent horrible, but you could feel them. I also used a 1LE trans mount. The prothane trans mount was over the top interior-wise. Made the door panels vibrate, lol.

Since I have an A4 this time I am going full solid (motor/trans) when I replace the mounts.

 

Actually it raised the driver side slightly when I installed them. I never checked to see how much ground clearance I gained, but I am sure it wasn't substantial.

 

Yeah, same here. I mentioned it earlier in this thread. Nothing crazy like you said though.

 

I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it. But I would think that lowering th subframe should give me enough access to the top bellhousing bolts.

 

Here's some under car pictures of the mounts. You can see how much room you have on the driverside.

 

yep, kinda like this, my dash vibes a little in first

 

I am doing a H/C swap soon i think im going with the poly motor mounts.

 

nothing wrong with some vibrations and noise these are muscle cars not luxury sedans

 

I put poly mounts in my car during the header install. There just a slight bit more vibration at idle, and I can't tell the difference at cruising speed. What is the advantage of solid mounts over poly? My car is a street car that I race occasionally. I've ridden in cars with solid mounts, and think most people would prefer poly mounts. I know it's a performance car, but I don't need engine vibrations to remind me of that, stepping down on the gas pedal does just fine.

 

dumb question; are there solid motor mounts that will work with a BMR K-member that has the motor mount brackets built in?

 

I just put in my spohns today. It was pretty easy. I can't tell if I like them or not yet, my car feels like a massage chair.

 

Not that I know of. I switched to poly when I put in my BMR kmember and didn't notice any difference anyway...

 

Looking good! I still love mine! I don't even notice the vibrations anymore.

You can't go wrong with either one.

x1000000000.

Solid mounts are just that; solid. Poly mounts are great also. For a mostly street driven car I would suggest poly mounts. Like I stated in my first post I just like the slight weight savings and complete replacement of the mounts when running solids.

I do not believe so. I actually just posted in a BMR k-member thread in the suspension section. Spohn is the only company that I am aware of that makes it, I just don't see why the others wouldn't. Unless I'm missing something it's literally just a plate with holes in it to accept stock mount pedestals/solid mounts. I'm also surprise that besides Spohn(and I think Madman) no other company makes solid mounts. I talked to UMI before I bought my Spohn's and they said they were planning on it but that was awhile ago. I know it takes more to make these products than it seems but solid mounts for LSx guys seems like it should be a standard product in your lineup.
