I have Megan Racing motor & tranny mounts for about 4k miles and honestly there's a decent amount of vibration at idle and cold starts. I daily my car and would much rather have the stocks because not only they lasted 100k miles and are very good but the Megan's make the dash and sometimes the secret compartment vibrate and make noise along with the mirrors and seats...

HASport mounts have been around for a long time. A couple of us are using it in the FI section; they work great. The vibration eventually settles down as things break in.

The stiffness increases with the durometer rating (ie. 70a is harder than 62a)

I think he means they are softer than the corresponding Innovative (race, track)

I bought some 85A motor/trans/diff mounts from innovative. I'll do some videos when I get them in. Gonna put a cup of water in the drink holder and do a Jurassic Park style vibration test

I have the 75a motor mounts and transmission mount, yes it does vibrate the car. In my opinion its not that bad, the only issue i have found that annoys the crap outta me is the hood prop vibrating causing a extremely annoying/embarrassing sound. However I will be ordering hood dampners to correct this issue ( plus i want them )

You are correct, the Hasport mounts are stiffer and softer to their respective innovative counterparts.

I have 75A Innovative mounts for the motor and tranny. Yes, the vibration is pretty bad. It feels amazing, and that is why I am torn. At idle, the mirrors and trim rattles pretty bad. Around town is just fine, but then on the highway the noise in the cabin with the top and widows up is pretty brutal at anything above 75. Killing rattles (especially the soft top latches) is helping, but I continue to be undecided. At this point I might as well get the diff mounts and get full benefit, since it won't add to the suffering.

If you daily your car these are the perfect blend of comfort and performance. I believe Hardrace makes the Megan Mounts
I Have Hardrace Mounts on my 2000 S2k and I feel the same that it is a little more solid in the on/off throttle transition. The vibration for me is present and quite a pest for me, to a point where it is almost unbearable. Have you done anything to reduce your vibration or have they worn in anymore with time?
