FS: AMS Motor Mounts with pre-pressed Bushings

Up for sale are 3 AMS motor mounts:

1. The front lower motor mount/bushing;
2. The cam side motor mount/bushing; and
3. The tranny side motor mount/bushing.

These are the AMS bushings pressed into the OEM motor mounts. I purchased the full set of bushings (front lower, cam side, tranny side) and had them pressed into the OEM mounts. I LOVED the setup but my wife overruled, and in order to go back to stock I had to buy entire replacment mounts with OEM bushings pre-pressed, so I was able to take these off as a complete set and they are now for sale.

These make a huge difference in the driving experience, and it seems like every reflex of the car is enhanced with these installed - because of the solid mounts there is less slop in day to day driving and less power is lost as it makes its way to the wheels - throttle response, handling, steering response and braking are all significantly improved, and the car feels more powerful in general. The downside is vibration in the cabin when idling and an increase in engine noise. My impressions were it made the X feel more like and VIII or IX, and I regret having to go back to the stock mounts.

Below is a link to AMS's website describing these products

http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/A...-bushings.html

These were used in my car for around a month (although the cam side mount is still installed as I'm waiting for the replacment to arrive), and are as good as new.

I will sell the front mount for $100 shipped, the cam side mount for $175 shipped and the tranny side mount for $165 shipped.

I don't have pictures at the moment, but could get some upon request.

I think the price is reasonable considering what these cost directly from AMS, and AMS's pricing doesn't include shipping.

The noise and vibration is not that bad, really, if you don't install all 3 at the same time. Even with all 3 installed, the noise and vibration increase are only really noticeable at idle and when engaging the clutch from neutral to 1st.

Bump. The tranny side mount will soon be for sale as my wife is forcing me to go back to stock as she's been driving it more and wants it a little softer.

I will let you know once I have it installed, if I will purchase the rest.

For anyone who's interested, I also have an upgraded rear mount that I can sell or include in a package deal. To my knowledge, there is no stiffer rear mount available, so I had my rallycross racer mechanic fabricate me a new bushing in the stock mount. The bushing is not as hard as the AMS, but definitely harder than stock - probably somewhere right in between.

Make me an offer!
