Default Why do you need a polyurethane source? Make it SOLID!!!!

I'd buy them.

Default Sir..

PolyU comes in hardness from Rubber band to golf ball.

Also your knock sensors are going to be a little more active, and if your still running ME 7, then your timing retard will affect your power - But you already know that. Being on the smooth track will not isolate your motor from the same frequencies that the KS are sensitive too.

Im making something cheaper ( ~ rs4 mount prices + maybe 30$ more ) and better than the current ones out there.

I just need some more insight on the design part, for instance my main concern is when the mount will be under tension. ( - g's, or crazy car twisting torque, aka clutch drops )

Also, im working on my Autronic integration, damn DBW
