Default Any thoughts on 75A for 75% street 25% autox and track

I just purchased this Ap1, which was used only for the track before. The motor mounts are stock and busted. Has dfv coilovers and a bunch of other mods. I'm fine with some vibes but felt my friends 85A to be too much. the 60A I hear melts. Thanks

I don't think the durometer will be the big factor in whether it melts or not. I can tell you that all the aftermarket motor mounts that do not allow 360 degrees of motor movement will introduce considerable NVH. The Innovative and Hasport mounts now only allow the motor to move in one axis. If you are worried about melting the motor mount buy some thin heat shielding material and place it around the motor mount. That fixed the issue of my turbo exhaust housing melting my motor mount after a track day.

Go OEM since the car will spend most of its time on the street.

i bought megan 75A motor + trans + diff mounts and i regret it. My car is a 50/50 track/DD and it's horrible driving on the street... i can barely hear my radio...
I'm forever chasing rattles now too.
