Default 85A Innovative Motor Mounts

I just got a set of these in and I'm wondering if anyone else has them that can offer an opinion/review?

Thanks.

Why did you go with the 85As? Why not the 75As?

i have them. on the track they're great. my old mounts split in half. between 1-2k the car shakes strongly, but i don't mind it at all. it also constantly vibrates at idle too. to retain street car comfort, i would recommend the 75 or less.

edit: to better explain "shakes strongly", the 85 mounts are beyond what anyone would just call "sporty" lol. my friend says it's like a free massage

What's the advantage of going 85 vs. 75?

85 has stiffer urethane in the mounts, resulting in less movement of the engine and transmission, giving a better and more accurate driving feel. it's sorta similar to what an engine torque damper does, but better.

it's up to you how stiff you want it

also, these are a stronger and more beefed up design which will take the abuses of racing better than the stock mounts with its soft rubber.

Hi guys,

Ive been looking at my options for new engine and gearbox (And potentially diff!) mounts for a while.

Mine are rather tired after 76,000 miles, so I was wondering what to go for and had only really looked at either getting new OEM, Mugen or Spoon.

What Innovate ones would I be best to get for day to day street driving with a track day or 2 every month? Appreciate if you could advise me on rough cost also.

Cheers

Gareth

The ebay seller I bought them from only had the 60A or the 85A in stock, not the 75A's I originally wanted. I didn't want to get the 60A and wonder "what if" so I figured what the hell. My S isn't a DD so I figured if its more than I bargained for, I'll just deal.

Ebay seller: "upgradeautomotive" Highly recommended them. Very responsive to questions with no bs.
