You're saying oem mount with insert is less harsh that way? That's what I have sitting and waiting to be installed.
Extremely, the insert mount version only has a hardened bottom mount almost like juts a perch, the top and sides still have soft oem rubber and massive voids. It’s allows plenty of movement and vibration dissipation, that full mount in my hand… only has the rock
hard Poly to dissipate those vibrations and sounds.
As painful as it’s been I’ve wasted a good bit of money putting on and taking off parts on this car - lol… I also tried the ecs/China style full mounts that have 90a poly in them, and they lasted on the car for about 1-2miles! Then I went back to the oems and sold those for beans… then when I had the first clutch in the car I was launching the car at 4k with that ceramic puck type disc and beat the crap out of the OEMs so I figured I had no choice but to go with stiffer mounts than the oem styles and did both the BFI full mounts. Because BFI only had the motor side in stock at the time I put that on and ran with it for like a week till the trans side came in, motor side added moderate noise but nothing bothersome. when I put the trans side in its when all the noise got intensified, (awesome crisp shifts though) at that time I was only running the metal upper and lower dog bone insert too. Then I added the spulen extreme Insert and it gave me such a great solid shifting feel and acceleration “delt” with the noise and vibs, as time went on became annoyed with them though and always needing to have the volume up extra high on the stereo to enjoy the drive so
step 1 : went to hybrid puck, minimal drop in performance feel massive gain in comfort.
Step 2: trans mount back to stock style with little stiffer rubber, massive improvement in comfort - but also considerable negative effect on performance in regards to engine rock at throttle input but still zero wheel hop.
Step 3 : oem style motor side mount with stiffer rubber - stay tuned for results
