I don't understand why anyone would install a mount that is shittier, yet much more expensive than the stock unit.

holy zombie thread batman!

IE seems to have taken a downturn in quality in recent times from products ive seen, i looks as if their manufactures have started drinking too much on the job.... i got a set of their poly subframe bushings when they where new and they looked great, i saw a set a while back and they looked like that autozone fiberglass bondo shoved in the shape of a bushing.

im not going to purchase anything from them again, there nice guys and seem to do their best as a company but they fail in quality comparison to places like AKG motorsport.

that said didnt someone use e30 motormounts awhile back? AKG has bad ass mounts for e30/e36 i know alot of theise mounts can be swapped around a bit, ala me running e21 trans mounts in my e36 m3.

I'm not surpised here, I had some IE poly mounts for my e46 engine and trans. After about 2 months the trans mounts were totally destroyed. After about 6 months the engine mounts are destroyed. I will be switching them out for aluminum. Not happy with the quality of IE at all, similar products from uuc have lasted much longer.
