This is not really an "engine mount" perse - but a bushing that reduces the amount of engine movement up and down in the front of the car. the snub sits in a cup that cushions the upward engine jerk as you hit the gas.

The stock snub is rubber and loses its effectiveness in about 2 years, depending on your driving style and climate. The typicial replacements we are using are polyurethane and are harder and more durable.

pic from my gallery of the GreedSpeed snub (looking up at the bottom of the car from the ground).

 

damn, i want to get my apr and put it on im just afraid i may mess something up. im very pissed off abuot it.

 

since ppl have the vibration problem when they install the snub, would it be smart to just go ahead a shave off 5mm on both sides of the snub instead of not shaving it and if there are vibrations, have to re-do it?

 

only shave the APR snub. not the greedspeed one

 

I wouldnt shave it until i was sure there were vibrations.. and after you have done it once, you realize that its not that hard of a task

 

i hav been convinced to do it. But i need to get over my fear of taking of the bumper. oo well, maybe i will be able to fix my bumper while im at it?
