And installed. After the car is on jackstands it's about a 10 min job. Now to go for a drive.

ETA: Changed to Motul 300 at the same time.

OK, eBay has a 15% off everything until 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern today and I can get the Torque Solutions (70a) for $99 shipped... or I can wait and get a lightly used Cobb (only 2k miles on it) from a local forum member soon for perhaps the same or less... Look for good improvement over stock but not excessive vibes... TIA for any advice!

My AWR 70 arrived from Whoosh Wednesday, installing it tomorrow. Accessport should be here Monday. Can't wait!!!

Enjoy! I was surprised at home much torque is unleashed even with the the Cobb OTS tunes, but as far as RMM, the Torque Solutions that I'm looking at is a 70a, I assume that's what the AWR 70 means, 70a durometer?

Yes that's the one. https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopif...ucts/awr-rear-motor-mount-2014-2017-fiesta-st

FWIW: No noises or issues on my Mountune RMM after roughly 30,000mi since install.

Very nice, I got THIS ONE on eBay for $99... I originally thought it was 70A but it's indeed 75A, so hopefully not too much vibes with stock idle speed... I can always pay Stratified for a idle speed adjustment but hopefully won't have to!

The AWR 70a durometer is great. Just did a couple quick drives around town and some highway miles. It's definitely noticeable. It does boom a bit on start-up, and you feel some vibration between 1000-1700/1800rpm but it's not bad and depending on how you let the clutch out you can minimize the feeling. The car feels more 'race car' now. At this point I notice it all the time but not in a bad way at all...I like the feeling. I have read every thread I can fine and I'm still surprised at how good it feels. I changed to Motul 300 at the same time and the shifting is definitely a bit smoother, some gears more than others, but worth it for sure. Now I need to do the symposer delete and a Thermal cat back. And maybe some springs. And...and...

Sounds like there was a batch of bad ones when they first came out, but it's been a couple of years... MAP still sells them (they were the seller on eBay) and a fairly recent review was 5 stars... don't worry Ron, I'll be ordering stuff from you soon!

Over 40,000 miles on my Mountune.

Installed my AWR 70a today. It's amazing how much of a difference a single part can make!! It feels so much better on the road. I've noticed a little vibration here or there, but nothing drastic at all. I'm sure within a few days I won't notice it at all. I loved that this RMM has the bracket on it, made the installation a breeze!!

 

[Xaendeau]

Aye, I have the mid-range AWR and it is about as stiff as I want to go. If I didn't have a turbo in my plans, I would have ordered the softest AWR. They are great mounts. Great prices, and everyone loves CHOICES!

 

[TyphoonFiST]

Anything is better than the stock mount really!

 

[Dirttwurk]

Anyone running the AET voodoo mount yet? I'm looking to remove my mountune and am trying to decide between this and the Revo mount.

Well, you have a pre or early '16 it looks like too, the stock was upgraded pretty decently, but still: A FWD car needs a stiff mount to keep traction down anyway... it's a matter of either standing the vibrations, raising the idle a bit to help with that or putting up with wheel hop... I received my Torque Solutions, it's a clone of a Cobb but instead of one soft (68a) and one stiffer (75a I think) secondary bushing, this one is dual 75a, so I'm hoping it's just the right balance!

I want to say to people that might be afraid of vibration (and I might have said it before), I have the AWR 88a and while there was some vibrations after I installed it, after not even 5000km* I don't really feel any vibration anymore. Idle is same as before.

As far as I'm concerned, I have all of the upside of a stiffer mount with basically none of the downside.


* I'm saying 5000km, but it's most likely much less than that. It went away smoothly and I eventually realized there was no more vibration and I've done at least 5000km since installing it.

Right on, from what others are saying too sounds like they all partially break in/settle in after a couple thousand miles / 3500km...
