AWR mounts...YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCE!!!

[RX8SE3P]

I just got an email from AWR, the guy says: You need to determine which front mount you require. You will need top measure across the bolting boss at the bracket that bolts the mount to the motor.

If I just order the MX-3 rear and Probe front I should be alright shouldn't I? Would there be any super weird fitting problems apart from drilling out the holes a bit on the cross member?

[marcdh]

I ordered:
Probe Front (bigger bolts which require opening up xmember holes a little)
Mx-3 Rear (no mods)

It's been running great for me and others, so you should be grand.

[Whisper]

Yeh, just widening the holes a bit is all you need. Perfect fit otherwise.

[colinsmx3]

Why can't you just use the MX3 front mount??

[Nd4SpdSe]

Apparently it doesn't fit quite right. With the Probe mount, you just bore out the hole to make it work.

Yes it made more sense to widen the bottom holes instead of adding washers where the bolt actually attaches to the engine. Apparently the mx-3 one isn't wide enough.

Do they come with different colors, for different hardnesses? If so, what hardness is red?

[Mooneggs]

AFAIK all of them are red... and yes there are 3 different hardnesses 70, 88 and 94

[fowljesse]

So, when I bite into it, how much of an imprint would 70, 88, or 94 make?

[Whisper]

I donno, I reckon above 70 you'll risk breaking your teeth.

Pretty sure mine are 88, and it's not bad at all. Car sounds righteous, though.

The guy at AWR recommended durometer88 to me. I'm gonna go with that and the probe front mount. The big question for me is wtf to do about my crap engine!
