Condor speed bushings too stiff for street car?

[kronus]

condor stuff is solid

[McGyver]

I've run blown OEM stuff, new OEM stuff, AKG poly stuff, Powerflex poly stuff, and Condor UHMW stuff

new OEM stuff feels plenty tight, doesn't squeak, and doesn't make your car sound like a rattly piece of shit going over what would be a perfect stretch of road in any normal car.

the only reason to go Condor everything in a street car is to have something to run your mouth about at meets. It's seriously pointless otherwise.

For a DD with the stock engine, I completely agree. Solid UHMW mounts with a solid bolt going through the mount is going to transfer an insane amount of NVH. Replacing the OEM stuff will keep your car feeling just as tight but will also be a lot more comfortable on a drive. Also, you have less of a chance of tearing your subframe over time.

That being said, I have about 2-3mm of clearance between the AC compressor on my m30 and my brand new radiator. That coupled with stiff suspension and wider sticky tires could lead to some movement and another broken radiator. So it's an acceptable trade-off to use Condor bushings on my m30 vert since it's only going to be occasionally driven for fun. Besides, the engine/exhaust is too loud for anyone to hear squeaks/rattles anyway.

All you really need to know.

Conclusion: they're a nice product but the engine/trans nounts might be a little too much depending on tolerance

Revshift makes a good poly bushing kit for the rear. You can buy them in different durations to fit what you want. Im currently running 95A poly motor mounts from them, they're stiff but not over the top. If i could suggest one thing it would be don't do Condor tranny mounts for your street car haha my car is now a driveable vibrator.
Heres the link for revshift - http://www.revshift.com/category-s/1851.htm

I just like the idea of being able to buy the 24 v trans and engine mounts with the new trans brace all at once

Yeah, i understand that feeling. It sucks having to wait for multiple places to send you the things you ordered. HEY im xvx too lol.

But as far as the mounts go i personally wouldnt install solid motor mounts, tranny mounts, and a whole solid bushing kit for the rear. It would be understandable if it was your track car where comfortability doesnt matter. But if your cars on coilovers and every bushing/mount is solid its probably going to be hell driving on some of those really shitty SLC streets. But all in all its your car, make it your own man.

I have plenty of time just rather get it as a "kit", but after looking at these g260 braces I might just make one and buy the mounts separatel. Cool, no one really picks up on that

Comfort is pretty much last on the list of concerns. I'm selling my 135 because it's unnecessarily nice and plush for me when all I really care about in a car is going fast and having a fun connected driving Experience while looking good. It will still be a street car for most of the part but probably more towards the aggressive side. Solid mounts are the only thing I could see annoying me

Go for it, dude. If i were you though i would indefinitely buy the revshift mounts. 95A Poly is still hard as fuck and seems solid but it'll allow a little flex and wont cause your whole chassis to vibrate. But like i said, its your car.

Are Those the blue "medium" grade ones? I like the idea of that. Either those or something not so harsh off garagetastic, they have lots of cool stuff at real life prices
