ES motor mounts: Opinions on installing only the f

[217gsr]

The title says it all. I will only be installing the front 2, for the time being.

Any opinions?

Any comments about the 3rd motor mount (rear)?

I installed just the rear mount. Yes it was a PIA but its well worth it. I did not expierience any extra vibrations. Launches a re solid and the engine does not torque as much as before. I plan on putting in the other two soon.

any special tools required to install the rear mount?

I'd say the biggest reason I want the inserts is because my supercharger belt rubbed against the rubber hose right below it. This happened only once. The hose is all taped up now. But I'm thinking that motor mounts would be the best thing to keep the motor from torquing back during hard acceleration or tipping forward when i suddenly let off on the gas.

It still moves with all three mount inserts installed.

My AEM FPR would rub on the strut tower bar even though at rest there was am 1/8" clearance.

Usually there's about a "pinky's width" clearance between the belt and the hose. I'm just trying to decrease the travel between the two.

Definatly (sp) install all 3. The rear one is the main one. It is what controls most of the movement forward and back. Do it. It is a pain, but dont' be scared of it.
