Hey guys,
We don't have one of these so I'll do a mini review for those looking into getting a mount.
SU 60 Duro
Started with one of these.
The vibes, at least to me, were almost non-existent. There would be super minimal vibes shifting into 1st but that's it really. Never felt much of a difference but it was an improvement over stock. It was better than stock but IMO it wasn't really worth upgrading to over the stock speed 3 mount. Though, shifting did feel a bit less sloppy and wheel hop was decreased. There was still too much movement for my liking. I had it on for about 10K before I decided to go big.

I've had this mount on for about 1.5K now and all I can say is that I love it. In fact, I loved it so much and thought it was such an improvement over stock that I bought the JBR PMM and TMM a week later.
During the break in period it was admittedly a little rough. For those who are reluctant to NVH it my have even been scary, clear by the amount of posts I've seen of people removing this mount within a week. The performance improvements however were so significant, even over the SU mount, that it definitely outweighed the NVH. I thought to myself if the mount unbroken in were to stay that way forever, would it be worth it? For me, definitely. Wheel hop isn't a real thing anymore, shifts became significantly smoother (although I'm still unhappy even with E4P SS, bushings, and shift weight), the car just feels so much more planted. Pre-break in the vibes may have been too much although I was ok with them, but post break in they're perfect. It makes the car feel sturdier, quicker, more aggressive, just general race car mode, heh. Funny thing is I never told my GF that I changed anything and she kind of follows my cars progress (she has no choice haha), and she didn't notice. I even told her a week later took her for a ride and she commented "this actually feels kind of cool". Torque steer also felt like it was significantly decreased, probably due to wheel hop - maybe it's just in my head though.
So, if you're hurting about the vibes - wait it out. You won't regret it.
Now just to get the TMM and PMM on, both 80 duro!
