10mm shorter than a brand new oem mount. OEM mounts get shorter with use. This actually allows more clearance of the headers to the chassis for many cars

And no they are designed to fit perfectly and accounted for the lower height in the design. They are installed all over the world

These mounts really looks sensational..,

i bought Yellow (90SHA) stiffness of "Swaybar bushings/upper & lower control arms/rear tie Rods/rear subframe bushings/
spindle bushings"..

12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG sold)
Nice smooth driving Great to see a W202 shuffled around like that
By the way, is the EPS left switched on? Looks like it. The LSD does make for good road manners.
Good work

No. Because the poly is encased in billet housing we don't need to go that stiff.

"Red" is kinda same of OEM stiffness, and "Blue" is more stiffer, correct..?

It is the opposite. Blue is softer than red. Even the blue is stiffer than OEM. PM me if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to help you. I just don't want to clutter up this thread. Thanks

great stuff, glad to see you got manual trans working. curious how much wheel horsepower changes as well.

p.s. i installed these ECE mounts, they are awesome. car feels a lot more solid, and actually less vibration then oem mounts. highly recommend them!!!
