Just some quick impressions on the Sure Motorsports street REM.
Fitment appears to be as easy as any other mount, can't say for certain, because Mitch chucked it in while Sam and I were hanging crap on him lol.
The hour and a half drive home gave me a chance for an initial review of the mounts performance and drawbacks.
The Good
- Noise no worse than Corksport inserts
- Holds the motor very still. Can really feel it locking the engine in place, especially under power, or when cornering
- Vibes are minimal, certainly less than the CPE mount.
- Reduced nose lift under hard acceleration quite a lot.
- Looks awesome.
The Bad
- More vibes at idle, or with air con on than Corksport inserts.
- Strange vibration at around 2500rpm under light acceleration.
- Harmonic vibration feeding back into the cabin when coasting at low revs.
Overall
A worthy competitor to the Cpe REM. Holds the engine in place as well, if not better, than the Cpe REM, with the added bonus of lesser NVH transfer.
The vibrations transferring into the cabin at 2500rpm are a possible issue since this is around cruising revs in the Gen 2 at highway speeds, but could subside as the mount wears in.
Definitely a worthwhile purchase in my eyes, and certainly up to the job of holding a modified MPS engine in place under hard acceleration.
I will update my impressions after a couple of thousand k's of bed in.
