Rajca,
I have had 60A on all five mounts for about 9 mos. now and I think it is more than adequate. I know you are tracking your car. I suggest you at least fill only the rear with 60A. The vibrations are on the very brink of excessive and crazy with 60A in all the mounts. 60A is all I can imagine would be tolerable on a daily basis. I had the crappy innovative mounts and the excessive vibration was to much on a day to day driving basis. Just something to consider.

crap. take that back because that was my first test. you still fill the same area but keep the top cover on also. this entire area above and below the plate get filled. this is because the motor under load pulls upward on the front mount. this is why the poly is needed above the plate. check these pictures out.

the revised front mount was discuss in the thread i know. read the entire thread before starting. remember this was a new project we were trying. jproy posted some great pictures and discovered the issue with my first front mount. glad we could help!
i just drove my car last night and she still doesn't hop. i will inspect the mounts this afternoon for any recent wear.

i didn't gut my rear....just filled in the gaps. i know my rear moves because it bulges out at the bottom. the bulge is just the movement of the mount pressing the poly outward. maybe gutting the rear should not be advised since when the engine is under major throttle it rocks back, placing most of the downward force on it. sorry to hear about the troubles.

I didnt gut the rear either, just filled. The filling is starting to push out though.

so looks like home depot poly isnt good enough... again lesson learned cheap is expensive i have to do it again so here it is poly urethan 60A from homedepot for 3$ tube and after i poured it into my front mount i let it dry for like i think 10 days or more. after the pain with install it feels like a shit again...
here is the pic

^ Thats my setup
Vibrations are there but I couldnt be happier with it. They have about 20k on them, 6k of which are after the build.

I don't understand why it would be bad to fill the rear mount. I want to take these lame ass torque dampers out and I would rather gut the rear and fill it. I was going to buy a new rear mount to fill, but maybe I will buy a new rear one and gut and fill the one with 86k on it so if i don't like it for some reason I have a new factory one I can use. Only problem is I would have to swap out the old one with the new one in order to fill the old one so my car is not out of comission for a week. That and it would be twice the labor and a pain in my ass. ANY THOUGHTS?

Also, why not fill the bottom part of the front one where the fluid goes? In the beginning of this DIY the bottom was filled. If the bottom was filled along with the top inbetween the plate and cover wouldn't it be pretty damn strong? Is it not being reccommended just because it is unnecessary? Or is it bad for the fluid to not be in there?

Just ordered 2 of the 60A, I can't wait! Finally! Anyone able to give me some better insight on whether or not to fill the bottom of the front mount? I should have enough to do it if I don't do the rear one...
