After 20 years, even low mileage cars have
tired, oxidized rubber mounts.
Have over 80K miles on your E30 M3? Your already soft engine mounts
are definitely worn out!... Especially if you like to drive hard or
track.
If your the type who likes to race your E30 M3, and still drive
it on the street from time to time, these mounts are just the
ticket.
AKG's Poly Group N Motor and Trans Mount Set for the S14 is
slightly stiffer (10 durometer points) than the BMW Group N rubber
mounts. Now in Version-2, these AKG mounts feature their innovative
registered interlocking system which makes mounts stiffer with less
compromise of comfort, and does not allow for separation of the
mount. New quantity manufacturing has brought the cost of this set
down as well.
The OEM BMW Group N mounts cost a whopping $800+ just for the
engine! That makes this complete set of [4] a much better
value.
This set offers what is needed by the hard E30 M3 driver: engine
and transmission control.
Cornering and cresting turns become more predictable, as the heft
of the driveline is not changing the moment of inertia during
steering.
Ever Had problems where your car shifts fine at normal speeds, but
becomes difficult under cornering or braking? That is severely worn
engine and trans mounts causing misalignment and these firmer
mounts fix this! Shifting the transmission becomes a sure-thing,
reducing the chance of a miss shift or over-rev.
Firm polyurethane and strong construction reduce the risk of a
mount breaking and letting the engine tilt into the radiator (this
does happen- and it's not pretty, especially on the track).
These are simply a must-have for those that track their S14
regularly, what a difference.
- If you drive your S14 hard, and don't
mind additional engine vibration in the cabin, then these are a
great upgrade.
- Polyurethane 80A (10 points harder than factory Gr. N
mounts)
- Complete set of [2] motor mounts and [2] trans mounts + locking
hardware
VAC Tech Tips:
-While these mounts are available separately, we highly
recommend always replacing the engine and trans mounts together in
a set. Not doing so can cause the softer of the mounts to fatigue
and fail, and doesn't provide the same level of performance.
-We highly recommend reinforcing the front subframe for use with
strengthened engine mounts.
