Default Are there any differences between snub mounts?

Neuspeed, APR, ECS, and etc. Are there any differences that make any snub better than another?

Default Well, APR was the first to design and create the snub mount.

This was in 1998. So we have a good bit of experience with the units.

I had the APR snub in my S4 as well, so I can assume that all the snubs are similar?

Default They're definitely similar Matt, but not the same...

For example, some companies make them larger and so snug in the cup they rest in that it causes quite a bit of vibration at idle. I've tried a couple different companies and the APR ones and the Pure MS ones dont cause this vibration when installed properly. The Neuspeed one had to be shaved down smaller in order to get rid of the vibration. cheers! Mike

It "looks" very similar to the APR and PureMS ones. I havent messed with it though.
