(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  JBR 88 duro Just wanted to give a quick review (even though its been talked about 500 times) Car:2012 MS3 3100 miles Customer satisfaction: In the 16 years I've been working on/building cars I've never had a company respond as quickly or get parts shipped out so fast. This alone will have me buying JBR parts for years to come. Item quality: Well made part, Good coating, Stainless steel hardware. Vibrations: I'm very happy I didn't go any softer. I installed it last night and was stuck today in a 2 hour stop&go jam on the way to work. This mount is not even broken in yet and the vibs are not that bad. I replaced a SU 2 piece RMM with this one and it has more vibs in the 1500 to 2k range but any other place is smooth as the 60 duro SU. Shifting: This was the biggest improvement. Before the mount shifting the car felt different every single shift. Sometimes hard, sometimes soft, notchy at times. Now the shifts feel solid and consistent. I could not be happier. Wheel hop: The mount removed 70% of my wheel hop on hard shifts but I still have some. I'll update this post when I figure out how to completely kill it. This is the best money I've ever spent on any car in the past 16 years. I feel so much more connected to the car. I would recommend this RMM to anyone in the market. UPDATE 9-20-12: I've put about 1k on the mount now. It is so smooth now that my friend thought I took the mount back out of the car. The vibes are all but gone yet the improved shifting feel has not changed. If I could only have one mod this is it.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Jamie, Put on my 88d chrome molly mount this week and I love it. I had a 70d CpE rear mount on previously and my shifts were feeling sloppy and the engine was giving off more vibration than it should. I suspected the rear mount to be the culprit. Sure enough, removed the mount and it had a centimeter tear in it. Installed your 88d rear mount and I wanted to let you know that I am loving my speed3 even more now. She purrs like a sex kitten. Thanks for making kick ass products for kick ass bitches like me. Keep up the fantastic work. I tell all my Mazda enthusiasts to check out your products. Here's to more orders in the future for ya.
