Just a note guys, but you do not want your mounts too stiff. The less they flex the more stress is put on the metal of the eninge and trans. That translates to breaks more frequently as they are made of aluminum and the mount of steel. Meaning that the aluminum trans and motor are now weaker than the mounts and in a tug of war will loose. I wouldn't go harder than 80A. my .02 The shift will be more crisp, especially under load, with a harder urethane. However, that doesn't seem like a good trade when you consider the cost and work of replacing a trans or engine. If you doubt me ask the Probe and MX-6 guys why they can buy a trans brace? It is b/c thier trans mount is a tad different than ours and hard driven cars are known to break the trans caseing. Our trans mounts are acutally a bit better at preventing that, but with the new advent of stronger mounts, which the MX-6 and Probe hae had for some time, we could start seeing more of the same issues with the MX-3 too.
Now, to top all this off, I have filled MS mounts with 80A urethane. The feel and shift were greatly imporved with the filling. However, I do not drag race (the place where the most stress is put on the mount points) and shift pretty smoothly even when I race on the track. I have not had any problems with my filled mounts, but do not drive all that hard b/c I do not want a problem.
Just wanted to point out the up and down of this product. If used with some knowledge it can be a great mod. If abused, like most mods, it can be costly.

Velen zijn er erg positief over (al zijn er een paar die zeggen dat het veel moeite kosten om ze goed passend te monteren)
