Did you guys ever recive my payment?

 

never got a confirmation but got my mounts on friday. installed them today with the steering rack spacers, all i can say is giggity giggity goo! a little bit of vibration but nothing i cant live with. no matter what i did or how i launched, the wheels stayed on the pavement. amazing. total install for mounts and spacers was about an hour n a half. as for the rack spacers, i noticed a lot more improvement than i though i would. im lowered, so i felt plenty of bump steer. now, nothing. not a damn thing. suspension compresses, steering stays true. i love it

 

shoot me a pm with your full name and location and i will let you know.

Glad to hear

 

I have discovered that you CAN get signifcant wheel hop even with the stage 2's.

An aggressive launch with the tires at autocross pressures (38-41 lbs on wider than stock rubber) on a really grippy concrete surface will do the trick, lol. Still, it wasn't the same if that makes any sense? Not as violent is how I would describe it. Just as much hop as pre-mounts, but it felt less... Destructive. More contained.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it, lol.

 

Just for ever ones info I went buy dealership and asked a GM tech what the torque spec on the 3 upper motor mount bolts was: (37ft/lbs for the bolts engine side) 74ft/lbs for the nuts on the mount or fram side.

 

Have you tried launching it with lower pressure (20-25 PSI)? It makes quite a difference. I had similar issues and that seemed to help out.

 

Well i just got my stage 2 mounts and damn they look pretty! too bad you wont be able to see them.

 

you shouldnt launch with the PSI that high for pea performance anyways...

did anyone figure out if the TTR upper mount can be used safely with these? It just looks so much better than the stocker.

 

I know to "launch" at lower psi, lol. In my previous posts, I indicated that they mounts were fabulous and eliminated all hop even at my higher than average street tire pressures in the mid to high 30's. At teh autocross this weekend - where higher pressures are a MUST, I won't sacrifice ability to run the course fast to get a sllightly faster launch, LOL - it did hop a bit with an aggressive launch at high tore pressures. Not a critisism, just put out there for posterity.

 

well i put my mounts in and there is alittle less vibes compared to the solid mounts, but i still get wheel hop at a 2k launch. all and all they are still better then the solid mounts

 

WTF are you doing launching at 2k, LOL? That is not the fast way to launch these cars, and short of showing off and putting on a smoke show there is no concievable reason to take these cars off the line that high! Even without wheelhop an aggressive launch from idle yields the best 60' times.

 

I put my stage 2's in it's like someone waved a magic wand over the front end. Incredible improvement for controlling your launch. Awesome product!

 

Unless you have better tires

 

stage 1 or 2?

 

stage 2 , today is alittle better with the warmer weather i am having better luck launching the car without wheelhop

 

i have the 1st design stage 2 mounts. i do get wheelhop at 42psi on my kdw's, however drop em down to below 40 and it completly disapears. any fwd car has a heck of a time hooking at that high a psi.

 

Area had his on I believe but I am not sure if he removed it and put the stock engine mount back on.

 

has everyone who ordered received theirs?

what's the current estimated turnaround time for modifying an Ion Redline '04 mount if i send in a core?

 

I can spin them all I want with too much throttle and clutch from idle - with 245/40/17 DOT slicks. Even at 27-30 psi. Launching at 2k = MAYBE in a completely stock car on 10.5" wrinkle walls, lol. Maybe. I could see it on a prepped track for instance. And that's in a completely stock car with torque management still in place.

1st gear is just so freakin' short, tires just don't have a chance. No way these cars should ever be let go at 2k on the street on any kind of street rubber at street pressures, right down to my UTQG 40 BFG R1's, lol (which are TECHNICALLY street tires LMAO). No point except to show off mad wheelspin.

 

I did a bunch of tests this morning. The rotated mounts and the stock mount have lil vibs together. The rotated mounts and the TTR engine mount have more vibs than the stock but nothing anyone can handle. Then I tried the stock mount with the rotated mounts and a ingals TD lol. I had a water bottle in the cup holder and its was bouncing like crazy. I know I shouldn't have but gotta try every option out. personally I kept the TTR and rotated mounts and threw out that garbage TD.

 

How do you guys think the car would be with the stage 1 rotated mount and a billet poly mount in the rear?

 

The rear mount/spacer is where the magic happens. Stick with the OTTP's front and rear.

 

I have the stage 1 rotated mount. Can I order just the rear mount from the Stage 2 setup?

 

yeah, my rear mount and spacer is still on back order :/

 

Once they come in stock yep

Should be 4~5 more days
