Its also critical that you retorque the bolts in the specified sequence, this can also prevent vibes.
yeh wat matt sed, i went to retoque mine and they were still good as gold
i rekn if ur paying someone to do it for u it should only cost maybe 50 bucks, coz it honestly only took me 15-20 mins and i have little to no mechanical experience aside from bolt ons.
if u have the tools available or can borrow off someone i highly recommend that. also there is nothing like the feeling of having installed a mod yourself to ur pride n joy

Had my CPE 75 put in today. Holy vibrations!
Definately hoping its dies down a bit......
Turn the AC off? I've found mine is more noticable with the aircon on, and during driving not really any bad vibes, but on takeoff and low rpm.....she does the shake a bit. It settles until you can turn the aircon off idling at the lights and not really notice the vibes much.
Take II - Mines settled down considerably since we refitted with new bolt.
At idle can't tell - only when you take off in 1st.
Yeah I noticed its pretty much nothing at all until I try to take off give it a bit more revs and your sorted
Does anyone have the torque sequence for this mount?
I'm seriously considering removing my mount. Im getting vibratons across the entire rev range, especially bad under heavy load (and lift off).
I want to try and re-intall the mount and hope for the best.
If anybody can help it would be much appreciated.
VGP, give it around 500km. It'll settle down.
You need to torque up the vertical bolt, i,e the one that goes through the rubber bushing into the subframe first, then the horizontal bolt second, and using a torque wrench goes without saying.
If anything, doing the mount the way cp-e recommends, which involves removing the bracket from the gearbox (held in by 3 bolts), the lazy option would be to tighten the mounts horizontal bolt to torque first (while the mount & bracket are off the car), as maneuvering an 18" torque wrench under a car supported by jackstands doesn't leave you much swing room.
Does anyone know the bolt size that bolts the mount to the engine plate??
I am going to get a Grade 8.8 bolt over the weekend.
You getting a stronger bolt Dan?
IMO the standard bolt should be fine...or you could go titanium I know a place in the states who we get titanium bolts off
