Haven't seen anyone post these so I decided to share:

Interesting.

Wonder if it works with both trannys

IMO, you should stay away from hard mounts on this car unless you have a racecar.

haha true, but if you're pushing crazy HP this is a part needed to make sure you get the most power from the engine to the wheels

also... Drop Engineering
bump :)

Maybe the stock engine mounts contribute slightly to the small throttle lag some feel. Those are pretty well priced too, it would be nice to feel like the engine is more connected to the car!

not all engine mounts are bad... the super hard ones are obviously going to vibrate the car pretty bad, but some feel basically stock (on other cars I mean).

Got any in Red? :roflpuke2: :rolleyes:

Hmm, these look interesting. Has any N/A guys done this?

I think they were released this past weekend... so if anyone is interested you would basically be the first one

that tranny mount is going to make the m6 tranny feel tight as hell. However, the last time someone tried that product the vibration was so bad you could feel it well after you stopped driving.

Any pics or instructions on the engine mounts Saku? Im pretty interested in this

hey guys,

so I got in contact with some guys over at DE and this is what they said about the mounts:

so those who thought this was strictly for a race car, it seems like its not the case

as far as I know only DE has it installed on their car, I'll see if I can get the instructions and pictures... but you'd pretty much be one of the first ones to test it out

These are not true solid mounts due to the polyurethane cores, but my I installed some polyurethane trans and engine mounts in my auto trans Saab and the vibration was fairly bad for the first couple hundred miles before it was completely broken in. After, it was not that much worse than stock and the drivetrain felt so much more solid too.

Then again, the Z is a FAR better car. The stock mounts in this car are actually nicely stiff for N/A applications.

Well if anyone is interested in being the first customer to try these out I can work out a deal if you are willing to post a review :tup: that way we can see how they compare to OEM

If you were closer, I would definitely take you up on this and have you install a set.

I can have them shipped to you and you can get them installed elsewhere haha

Hey saku, pm me a price shipped to 34120, thanks. For the engine mount ;)

Get em and have lou install them at amp:tup:

how difficult is this to install? Also will these work on the g37?

Engine mounts are always an issue... so I'd say so, unless you have the right tools. Unfortunately I'm not sure they work on the G37, the description from Drop only puts it for the Z34

my 350z has solid metal engine mounts and stock trans mount. Crazy vibration is only apparent while starting the engine. During driving it has a great feel to it and very little extra vibration, really only noticable when chugging the engine.

If I wanted stiffer mounts in my 370z, i wouldnt even hesitate to get these ones if vibrations were my only concern. After I take care of some other priorities with my car, I will either end up with these or just make solid metal ones again.

Any way you can make sure? I know we use the same engine and same under body bracings, not to say this should be the same but could be a possibility :D:tup:

Drop isn't willing to bet on it... so thats how it stands haha

Are these something you can get separate? i.e. the engine or the tranny mounts only, or is it something you wanna upgrade both at the same time?

Secondly are these something that only work for MT's or would AT's benefit from these as well? Prolly the engine ones more than the tranny ones right??

That sucks... Anyone know of anyone with mounts for the g37?? (i tried the myg37.com forums too, but the 370z.com seems to be more into more the modding scheme a little more)

I am looking to see if this works for my G37 as well. If the g and z has then same part # we are pretty much good to go..

Any special price for me being the first G37 for the tran mount ??

I don't get how the company that designed this piece has no review or pictures of the mounts installed.

it's something you can upgrade one by one, doesn't have to be both, and I'll ask about AT but I would assume the tranny mount is for MT only


Let me ask again and maybe they'll take more interest since I have more than one G37 interested

im fairly sure they're a pretty new company so they might not have the resources to do that

I really wanna get these mounts, they will be my next project after getting my headlights painted. How long of an install should this take...an hour?

truthfully idk, all cars vary on location of engine mounts, so it might be a breeze or it might take a long time

Do you think it will get in the way of my headers or if I decide to go with a gtm stg.1 S/C in the future?

I was quoted 4 hours of labor and the tech said it was somewhat involved. During 9 dyno runs tuning my GTM Stage 1 SC, I did not notice enough movement to require stiffer mounts. It was not worth the cost to me personally.

I doubt they'll get it in the way, they'll just replace oem engine mounts

transmission mount is only for Manual Transmission

and G37 owners, sorry but they still won't bet on it, they said its likely but they won't confirm it until they get their engineer testing it on a G37, but it does seem like they want to test it out on a G37 so I'll keep you guys updated

But the Engine mount is still usable for AT's right?
