Default Differential mounts

Did some searching, but couldn't really find what I was lookign for. I busted one of the OEM differential mounts last weekend, so need to buy new. Thought I would try the Innovative mounts. They are available in 60A, 75A, 85A and 95A. The car has 420whp. It's my daily driver in the summer months, but sees some track duty. Will the 60A mounts be too soft, or will they be fine? Should I go with 75A or some other instead?

Have you checked out the Hasport mounts? They are about $100 more than the Innovative ones, but look much beefier.

I recently installed some 70A Hasport diff mounts and am very happy with them. I'm a little more hp than you are, but my car does not see any track time.

Either way, I think the 60A are gonna be too soft.

They are also an alternative I'm looking at. I'm waiting for a response from MVP, whether they have them in stock or not.

Hmm. I don't know how much difference it is between the different mounts, but wouldn't 94A be very stiff? I see they describe them as "most extreme race" on the Hasport site... Not sure what stiffness I should go for!..

Should have bought the avid mounts from LJ at full blown. After my innovative motor mount experience I would never buy anything from them again!

The bushing material is just garbage. The 60A is about as strong as peanut butter and the 75A is a bit better but will prolong the inevitable of the bushing melting.

You either need to manufacture some sort of heat shield (why?) for the innovative mounts. Or buy a better quality such as hard race or Full Blown engine mounts. I did not find the fitment of my Innovative mounts to be very good either and had to stress the bushing pretty good just to even get the bolts to line up.
