Lets hear it guys what are you running and how does it feel?

I'm personally torn between perrin and STI, I've heard cusco are extremely stiff and cause alot of extra noise and vibration (basically a race mount).

i have stock mounts, and have ridden in cars with the perrin mounts as well as the cusco. tbh i didn't really notice any difference between the perrin and cusco, both are just a little more 'vibey' than stock. i guess if you were to do a back-to-back maybe it'd be more noticeable, but the cuscos didn't seem particularly harsh to me. i like the smoothness of the stock mounts personally. i haven't noticed any adverse effects, and will replace them with something stronger if i ever do.

The Cusco mounts are nice. I have them in my car with turbo. Made a huge difference because my stock mounts were SHOT, the engine moved all over, you could feel it while driving. Slight increase in NVH. I wouldn't call them race mounts because they have either rubber or polyurethane bushings in them.

i have the perrin and have ridden in all three. Can't go wrong with any of the choices listed.

And as I myself asked this awhile back in another thread the consensus was that the STI ones were like stock in regards to NVH and styling as well but obviously a higher durometer to provide better stability over stock. I can't say I have not riden in this car with any above being discussed.

I love my STI mounts, Ive had cusco on past cars just wanted to try something different.

I posted this in the review section but thought i would share with you guys. If you have these on your car please check them out for your safety.

This review is about my experience with Perrin's Engine Mounts for Force Induction Application

Purchase Date: Jan 2013
Received Date: April 2013
Installed Date: April 15, 2013

***The pictures kinda sum it all up. The mounts are melting!***

Let me start off by saying I live in Florida and this car has been FI(Perrin Tuned Vortech & FA20Club Turbo) . The exhaust system on the car was a Perrin 2.5 header back. We only found this problem because I was switching setups to a 3inch header back exhaust system. Huge props to @Ironsquid for seeing it. I also have every cooling product on the car you can buy to keep engine bay temps down.(vented hood, ceramic coating, radiator, oil cooler...etc)

Quality: 4/5
Design looks great. Mounts felt like quality in hand. When on the car the engine mounts kept the engine from rocking. Very little NVH.

Packaging: 5/5
Came in a nice box with bubble wrap well packaged.

Install:
Can't comment on this mechanic installed them.

Durability: 1/5
The mounts have only been on for 10 months and this is the condition of them. The mount is disentgrating you can pick pieces of urethane right off.
