yea mate did both sides in 75durolol
still wearing in and havnt rechecked bolts so cant really comment on vibes yet but if they stay as they are now then yes there are a fair bit more vibes... but the engine is pretty much bolted to the car... as i said im sure the vibes will settle a bit.
i had about 35k km on the car and the trans mount was on the way out.... so i wouldnt be very confident spending money on the standard mount for it to just fail again...

Post installation report:
As suspected the passenger side mount for me had leaked the fluid and now the engine is bolted hard with the AWR mounts, drives great, increase in vibes initially but now 1000kms later it's not bad... But noise is carried through the car hard lol I don't mind it
did you have a rem from the start though? I just wont be able to accept the noise that aftermarket mounts currently generate

Matt - was this the kit that you purchased?
StreetUnit Billet Aluminum Full Engine Mount Kit: MAZDASPEED 3, MAZDA 3
Rolling on Rays
Is this more of an issue in the 3's than the 6's? As HighOnPSI mentioned, there aren't many 6 options readily advertised on the usual sites...

Mad a custom REM in it , still do... Now the vibes are crazy lol and the noise is quite loud, but there still being broken in so hopefully it settles abit!Originally Posted by lup15

I put fresh spark plugs in recently (genuine denso itv20 iridiums) and that made a noticeable improvement to idle vibrations. Not enough to cancel out the borked mounts I have, but it made the whole car pull smoother through the rev range too. My plugs were VERY worn.
Just an idea for anyone on high milage plugs, might be worth a change.
It's not a midlife crisis
Looks like SURE motorsports has a side engine mount on the cards - Torq S3 -

Dont you need to combine the side and trans mount when you do them? or no?
