Hey everyone, I'm going to need engine mounts soon for my IS350. I have tried searching and haven't found much on the subject.

1) has anyone used the aftermarket mounts (like the Megan Racing), and if so how do they feel? Did they make the car feel 'rougher' at idle and/or take away from the comfort of the car at all?

2) are there any decent DIY threads on the subject? I'll likely do them myself, but would like to know what I'm getting into

Thanks in advance everyone.

 

im guessing 400-500 used.

= WIN! Haven't read of anyone getting these as of yet; but as these vehicles age more and more, I'll bet seeing more and more having purchased them.

 

bump...not looking for where to source parts or pricing. Looking for advice on the aftermarket parts vs. OEM and how they make the car feel. Won't be using 'used' parts though. Also looking for DIY advice. I'll end up tackling it myself either way, just don't know which route to go yet.

 

stock is rubber mounts isn't it?... and aftermarket depends if u can find one that is polyurethane which is better for performance but u will probably feel some vibration ...

 

This is a Lexus, not a swapped Civic. use stock mounts. I bet the rattles increase tenfold with aftermarket mounts.

 

I'd stay away from Megan mounts. Just get OEM mounts. I don't think they make "good" upgraded mounts for the IS. As far as DIY I haven't seen on here before. Should be an in and out but I haven't looked yet. I've done mounts on other rides and it was a "B" but do able. Taking out a stater and such forth. Lifting the engine a lil bit and it gives stress off the other mount. Let me, and others, know how it goes.

 

Sorry for the slow response, my original mounts are worn but not completely shot. I'll go ahead and use the OEM mounts no doubt. Don't want to feel any vibrations. When I finally get to it, I'll try to remember to take pics for a DIY. Thanks for the input guys.
