Im doing my motor mount. Just wondering what brand to buy other than MB. I plan to cable strap it.
Corteco
Febi
Lemforder

Black series? do i need to strap those?

Someone gave me a set of motor mounts but he said they were from autozone. So Im guessing they are Duralast brand. Should I use those or shelve them?

Thanks.

must not have looked at my post from yesterday.

GO WITH East Coast Euro mounts. I should have gone with them from the start to avoid having my black series fail after 6 months.

If he plans to strap them anyway why not go for an OEM mount for maximum comfort...

Vrp has some new mounts as well.
If you run the softest it should be similar to oem vibration wise.

I went from the OEM mounts to the East Coast Euro mounts on the M113k and honestly, I don't notice much change in vibration levels. Not sure where you are located but if you could find someone with some already installed you might be able to get a feel of how much (or how little) vibration there is.
