Engine Mount Impressions/Videos?
I know there's been some threads reviewing various motor mounts like Perrin, Cusco, STi however I haven't been able to find many if any videos on YouTube showing how much of a difference they make.
In this one video showing before and after Perrin mounts seems to show less engine shakiness/movement than another video showing the cusco mounts. I thought everyone raved that the Cusco mounts are way too stiff almost like solid mounts? Can anyone chime in with their experiences of either or any other mount for that matter?

There is stiff in the drivetrain(good) and stiff on your body(bad). Now read all the reviews again and figure out which is which. Most people just get the transmission insert. |

Right as I don't want the entire car shaking panels and bolts loose, however I was under impression that motor mounts were recommended for those of us who are FI? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I just installed the Perrin mounts last weekend.....these in addition to the Whiteline trans bushing insert. I find little additional vibration above 1k RPMs, a bit more drivetrain noise but nothing that bothers me- I do find the additional feedback and connection desirable. If these are like other poly mounts I have had in other cars they will break in a bit and have even less NVH. The most vibration occurs at warm idle (when idle drops), but it is not bad, definitely not shaking panels/bolts loose Since you are FI with a tune you could have the idle increased and have very little NVH. Car feels more solid, Perrin slots in between STi and Cusco which is the perfect balance for me. If you are really concerned about NVH you could go with the STi mounts.

Thanks for the input and pic (nice fumoto valve btw). I don't mind NVH at all as long as it doesn't carry detriment to the car and it's parts. My idle is at 950 actually so i suppose that should help lessen NVH in general. I like the Perrin mounts as well but they $100+ compared to STi and Cusco 😓 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

With idle set to 950, you might not even know you had changed the mounts....really these are not bad at all in regards to NVH.
Installation was pretty easy too, drop the steering rack and the drivers side is out in 5 minutes with the motor jacked up, passenger side was easy since I had the overpipe out for an upgrade. They were about $70 more (Amazon has the Perrin mounts for ~$310) but I liked the design over OE and did not want to get something like the Cusco that they say WILL shake panels/bolts loose.

My friend has the cusco one. The amount of vibration on that steering wheel is amzing to feel/drive.... but probably bad for daily/long trips.

I might end up going with the Perrin since the most people are happy with them. I don't mind vibration from Cusco so long as it's not ridiculous and annoying. This isn't my DD so luckily I don't go on long drives often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I installed TRD engine and gearbox mount last night, so keeping in mind my experience amounts to two 40min drives with them, here are my impressions:
. Free rev engine movement has reduced by at least 50% . It has solved the issue I had of my over-pipe hitting the crossmember whilst turning left and accelerating hard . Taking off from a stop feels sharper . The wheels are a little easier to spin . At idle there is now a slight vibration that wasn't there before . While cruising and accelerating there is no noticeable increase in NVH Also the TRD engine mounts had heat shields which the stock ones don't come with.

A bit pricey. One of those things that should have come from the factory. |

I have the Cusco engine mounts along with the transmission insert, rear diff inserts, and subframe inserts (all Whiteline) and it's not bad at all. of course it takes a little getting used to but now I barely even notice it. my rear view mirror shakes at idle sometimes (and my radar detector that's mounted on it) but that's it. no bolts shaken loose so far after over a year. *knocks on wood*

What made you choose Cusco over Perrin ora y of the others available? My reasoning was price point but as another member mentioned they reasonably cheaper on some websites. 86speed.com has the Perrin mounts for around $314 shipped with coupon code. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
