Group-N vs. Beatrush vs. Cusco vs. Torque Solutions Engine mounts

Currently running Group-N but after checking out Tim's engine after he got his brand new ones installed and realized my motor has a lot more shaking on shut off than his does. I guess after almost 10 years and 80k+ these do go bad at one point haha.

Now to the topic, Trying to figure out what to replace them with. I don't care about NVH so throw that out the window. This becomes a cost vs bang for the buck. If the more solid ones last the same amount of time as the Group-N do then, with a $40-80 difference it would be worth the extra stiffness. Anyone running mounts other than Group-N?

How many miles are you at on them? I know you push plenty of power so its a reliable source for sure.

I have Cusco motor mounts. NVH is definitely bearable for me. Happy that I went with them.

Don't really like Group-n mounts.

Hard 1/4 mile launches!

I have Megan motor and transmission mounts. Hard to remember at this point the exact feeling post install, but the car did feel a lot more 'square,' and turned over quicker on startup.

I wen't with all Group-N mounts, but, I am not looking for hard launches. I wanted them stiff but not so stiff as to fill the cabin with tons of road noise.

I was looking at them, I would be willing to bet they ARE group N, just re-branded.

No, they're literally manufactured at the same place Subaru, Nissan and others go for their poly mounts and whatnot.

All beatrush here. Monster meats and very stiff suspension. Little compliance. Zero complaints. Took them apart after 6000 mile of mountain, track, drag, and autoX abuse (and 6 years) and they look good as new.

I guess 6000 of abuse is equivalent to a years worth of driving?

I've had the cusco mounts on the car for over 100k and 2 engines.. never had an issue. The GST L used to run them for about 4 or 5 years, until it was switched to solid mounts.
