    That seems similar to mine! :) I’ll take a video tomorrow when I do a cold start.

    I have the CS Stage2 mount and would recommend it. I switched to it after a couple years of using their basic 'race' mount and it is worth the extra cost. The design of it improves engine control and smooths out the NVH a bit compared to single piece mounts, in the same vein as the CPE.

    A while back I ended up getting the Corksport mount since I was ordering brake pads. It has less NVH than the JBR but even after 600+ miles I’m surprised just how much. It’s been so long since I drove the car with the OEM mount (it was out of service since last July) I don’t remember what the car is ‘supposed’ to be like :)

    The JBR has a higher quality finish and look but I’ll stick with the CS just because it’s a bit calmer. I’ll put up the JBR mount for sale in the forums in the next couple of days.

    I have to apologise to JBR…!

    I was troubleshooting another issue and replaced the passenger engine mount (OEM), and my car cabin is now substantially quieter. It’s a completely different car.

    I had installed the JBR mount before I started up the rebuilt engine so I blamed the loud cabin noise on that since that’s the only thing I thought had changed. It quieted down a bit with the Corksport mount but was still louder than I liked.

    The old OEM passenger mount was in very bad shape. The middle piece could be moved easily with my fingers and would clank against the sides. The cabin noise and vibration is 5X quieter now.

    I have the Damond trilogy and they were a bit noisy for the first 2-300 miles but now I'm just used to it. I genuinely can't remember how quiet the car was before so... ya know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    That said, the trio definitely makes it hard to see wtf is in your rearview mirror. Thinking about buying an aftermarket anyway but still, worth noting.

    I originally had AWR. Nobody has mentioned them in this thread. I guess too old. The AWR mounts really, really, really sucked. I got the Damond full set of 3, and, it now feels virtually stock to me as far as vibes go. Most people say Damond is good, but, honestly, my results are better than good. Amazing.
