I did not read through all this but looks fun. I wanted to throw out that I can get rid of ESP/Traction control, completely for you if you want and also if you want to have more control over the trans.
ECE makes some killer billet/poly engine and trans mounts that lower the height of the engine as well as being fully serviceable. Full track cars are running them too since there are different stiffness available.
We will be the first ones to say the ECE mounts look killer. The questions i would ask would be-
1- Will 10mm lower engine mounts wear out the flexdiscs as driveshaft angles are now changed?
2- What kind of testing has ECE done for longevity of their engine mounts?
3- What type of Polyurethane does ECE use?
4- Is there any difference when it comes to types of polyurethane?
5- How long has ECE been in the polyurethane business?
Feel free to call us Mon - Fri 8-5 and i can give you our answer to all of those questions so people can have a more informed decision. (503) 316-1811

1- No. It is not a big enough difference to alter the angle enough to prematurely wear . We also sell our matched lower transmission mounts if someone is concerned.
2- we have run them in our shop cars as well as other tester cars. We have bench tested the poly in vices etc etc. We have everything from circuit race cars, to drag cars, to drift cars running our mounts.
3- We offer 40A and 60A polyurethane for our engine mounts. They are interchangeable depending on what the consumer is looking for. The stiffer they are the more vibration is transferred but the longer they last.
4- see number 3.
5- We have been testing in Mercedes for over a year. We were the first to make polyurethane/billet mounts for these cars. We are here for our clients if something were to come up as well.
You could answer your own questions for people to see if you'd like as well.
Those are amazing CTSV's running your mounts. We are good friends with RJ as a matter of fact. He speaks highly of your product. We are not here to detract from your products.
Here are some of the Mercedes running our mounts. There are many more such as the fastest C63's that also run our mounts.
We have built many Mercedes as well. We found mounts to be an unmet need in the market so we decided to provide it.

I dont want you to think that we are speaking down about you or your products. We agree that there was an unmet need for engine mounts in the AMG community and we both jumped at the opportunity to fill that need. There are many AMG's that need engine mounts and i foresee both of us doing very well in replacing the poor factory mounts. We truly do wish you the best and look forward to seeing the AMG cars pushed a little higher at the track.
Hey Quant i was so wondering if you could PM me im moving from drag racing to track racing im really interested in learning alot more about this new territory pretty plz and thanks
its been a while since i last came here. unfort its been crazy busy with work and newborn, barely had time to think about anything car related. feel free to send me txt if you have any questions, i'll try my best to help. i'm not the most expert car guy here, i had ton of help from other members but i'll be more than happy to share my experience.
First off the car looks amazing and i look forward to seeing you progress on it.
I figured i would throw this out there in case you have not looked at our products but we manufacture Polyurethane engine and transmission mounts for your car. I think you will like how the mounts make the car feel "tighter" without causing alot of vibration.
Good luck with the car and get a gopro in there so we can see her on the track.
thanks for the compliments! how much for a set of engine and trans mounts?

Quant I still have that CF hood and a CF driveshaft if you want to make the trip down 👍
hey man, hope all is well! i'll let you know in the next couple of months. i have a lot going on, hope to get back planning out next steps for my car then. i'm highly interested in the driveshaft, it probably wont work with my exhaust. i worry that temps around it will be high on track and potentially cause issues. i was looking at getting custom heat shield to get around it but not sure i have space.
Congrats for newborn and hope all are healthy plus benzing in the future.
Best regards Gator
ps these motor mounts might keep the crib on track. Cheers

thx man, have you installed any of these yourself?
p.s. i will be benzing in a couple of weeks at watkins glen. its been tough getting consistent track time, and it doesn't help not even having car around. its been in the shop to get rear seat area carpeted after cage install. wanted to go with clean "oem" look.
little update for group. i'm giving interior CF treatment (OCarbon) and alcantara dtm style steering wheel (ladermanz). goal right now for me is to take care of interior and all maintenance items. i'm hoping to hit track a lot more next year!! will start putting videos up as well pics of interior will be posted in a couple of weeks as well when everything is done.
blackbenz, if you still have the CF hood i might be interested. my only question for the experts here is if i can cut out vents without damaging its structure. i'm thinking renntech clk60 type vents.

That should look great when it's done!
I still have the CF hood, have another CF driveshaft, and brembo gt front bbk that needs new rotors but callipers are rebuilt and refinished red. I cut my last hood which was two layers, this one is much better quality. It is one cf layer and a fiberglass frame.
If you do come down for the hood I'll show you the engine and transmission mounts and I'm pretty sure you will want to buy them on the spot. Racecars around the world are using them

We have mounts in stock now but they sell out quick. Let me know when you are ready 👍
got them couple of days a go, hope to install in next couple of weeks. will provide group with my review quality looks top notch! they are going in along with complete PU bushings for whole car and front&rear strut bars. gonna be a "little" stiffer.
