After having these for........well too many months
I finally got these fitted today.
The transmission one I had fitted before so it was just the engine mount and DBM to fit.
I had bought the OEM stretch bolts from David at Seremotors prior to this so was just a case of removing the old mounts and bolts and replacing these with the new ones.
The DBM was very very easy to fit, four bolts removed, mount out, new mount in and four bolts replaced.
The engine mount was a little bit more of a pain but TBH not as much as I was expecting.
I was planning on replacing the coolant bottle anyway because getting WELL fed up of BEEP!!!!! BEEP!!!!!! BEEP!!!!! every morning followed by having to check the level, just incase.
So the bottle was removed, coolant drained from the radiator, power steering reservoir was loosened and moved out of the way.
The engine was jacked up and bolts removed, mount was removed and new one on place. New bolts fitted all bits back in place.
Total job done in 4 hours, including replacing the coolant header tank.
Initial thoughts...
The engine feels solid now, zero and I mean zero cabin vibrations. When cornering the car feels much more planted and there is zero lift off lunge. I have my winter tyres on now so won't manage the spirited driving bit but I'm 100% sure the car will feel much much better at speed on the twisties.
If you have ARB's and Strutt brace you need this mod aswell, its the final help along the way of a great handling car.
And at the prices Issam's charging how can you go wrong.
Thumbs up to Issam, another great product
