    what do you guys think of, the inserts that cork sport sells for the ms3? ( http://www.corksport.com/corksport-m...daspeed-3.html) and if i do go with a real engine mount like the CP e one, what can be done to reduce the vibrations?

    I don't know a lot about the motor mounts, but is there a negative impact on the stock mounts when only the RMM is replaced with a higher durometer mount?

    I asked this question before.. Somebody said that the if you replace the RMM with a better one, you get more support especially for twisting of the engine due to torque. The 2 side mounts are still there, but as an additional support. Most of the stress is carried by the RMM which converts to the vibration that you'd feel inside the cabin. Makes sense in my opinion.

    grow a pair of balls

    j/k

    vibration isn't outrageous, and it mellows out as the mount gets broken in. If you're really concerned about it, you could opt for the 60 duro and apparently vibrations are less noticeable, but the results are still good.

    MPS has both a 65 duro and 75 duro cp-e mount available if you're still interested and haven't sourced one as yet.
