Default new mm report

So I have an initial report on the hydraulic motor mounts that replaced my failed solid mounts. SILKY SMOOTH. Put 1000 miles on them the next day and you can certainly feel the difference.

Jeff
these hydraulic mounts that you installed are they the factory mounts or a new aftermarket version?

Glad to hear it, Jeff!
How did the new shocks and springs work out for you?

Glad to hear it working. since you're one of the guinea pigs, it would be nice to track your engine height over time. If you could somehow measure your engine height now, and six months, and a year down the road there might be some good info there.

Putting them in was pretty easy. The bottom safety clamp was a bit tough, but I like the ride height better than stock.

$46.50?! OMG! What a bargain and it sounds like they were fairly easy to install too...how can that be possible?! I suspect I could use them in EVERY ONE of my 928's!

LOL!!! That is funny! I have never had a MM changed on any of my cars that I know of and certainly none since I have owned them...I can't imagine that I don't need them. I have never measured though.
