Default Anybody running the megan motor and trans mount set?

Looking for some quick feedback before I purchase them tomorrow.

They say sc300 and 400 both share the same mounts so I have no exp with the 400 so if anybody could confirm this that would be great.

Thanks

Why not OEM?

They seem more expensive than OEM from what i just briefly google'd.

I guess it depends on your application.

It seems as if the MRs will be stiffer, and you'll get more vibration in the cabin from the mounts being stiffer. Compared to OEM that is.

Yea I don't mind the stiffer poly mounts as this is what I am after as opposed to the weak soft stock rubber.

I am going to swap from the v8 to the gte in a year or so.

High price tag for such little items. Get OEM and spend half of that.

That will mess up the engine-transmission-driveshaft alignment and put unneeded stress on the rubber coupling.

The SC400 does not use a slip-joke driveshaft as most vehicles including the SC300 do and so keeping everything in balance and at the proper level is of critical importance.










Dude let's not start again please, well the SC3 motor mount are not the same with the Supra and people have been using them on the SC for year.
If it works, it works let's not try to go into a debate.

You can start your thread on this subject and i will post on your thread, i don't wanna clutter this one.

Supra mounts will not bolt up to the SC400 engine bracket correctly because of the bulge/hump at the top of the bracket. The height and the mounting angle are not the same.

SC300 and Supra mounts are perfect swap. The bulge/hump is the same size and in the same position. The engines are the same. The brackets are the same. The subframe are the same.

Supra mounts + SC300 = WIN
Supra mounts + SC400 = FAIL
