The front and rear is all we have. I don't see any need for the side mounts, personally. The engine doesn't move to the sides, only front/backwards.

The front and rear bought as a set is $85, includes shipping.

Just got "Lebron" back from getting mine installed... Wow!!! You can totally feel a difference. It's much smoother and seems to be quicker due to the decrease in motor shift. I'm in love all over again! Highly Recommended =)

is this estimation of the ralliart mounts after trying them personally? on z1's site it says they're 90 durometer but they're also rubber not polyurathane. just wondering.

holy thread ressurection batman ... while we're at it, I have now had opportunity to try the Buschur, PowerFlex, and stock mounts back-to-back (front only). Stiffness (with associated benefits & drawbacks) goes in that order. I also noticed that the hole for the bolt is larger on the stock and powerflex vs. the buschur, which may also contribute to making the buschur feel "stiffer".

Buschur (hardest)
PowerFlex (harder)
Stock (softest)

Pros:
less engine movement
better throttle response / control
smoother shifting

Cons:
more vibration
more noise
eventually parts come loose & rattle

I'm looking to buy the PowerFlex front motor mount bushing today. If a vendor reading this is in stock, post up. You may save me from having to make a bunch of phone calls.

I've had stock and the Buschur mounts. I'm now switching to Ralliart Mounts. I will give my opinions of the Ralliart mounts this weekend post install.

The Buschur Mounts work exactly as advertized. They stop engine movement, no doubt about that.

Superhatch,
Anxious to hear your opinions regarding the motor mounts. I still haven't decided which to go with, Buschur, Ralliart, or Powerflex.

i still havent decided either, this thread seems to be extremely woried about not hurting the either of the two vendors' feelings.

But its true, you need to have two evos back to back, one with powerflex, one with the buschur mounts and someone needs to take notes on how both react over a period of time, and no one has really done that.

In the end it all boils down to, whoever has it in stock.

PS. thanx to 144mph for making this thread officially gay, even if it lasted just for a little while
