New PowerFlex front motor mounts in stock! *Added 12/7/2005!
Wanted to let the Evo guys know I am stocked up on these new urethane front motor mounts for easier shifting. Forget about WeaponR or stiffy dampers. This should be your answer and for less money!
Powerflex is a UK based company that is Europe's largest manufacturer of polyurethane suspension and vehicle components.
This bushing is made from a 80 durometer polyurethane where the OEM rubber bushing is rated at about a 45-50 durometer rubber material (much softer) and the Powerflex kit comes supplied with a specific stainless steel sleeve and a packet of copper grease/anti-seize.
It is a direct replacement for the soft OEM front mount bushing and fits with absolutely no modification. Installation takes about 20 minutes. The most difficult part is removing the factory bushing from the mount. Without a press, you basically have to destroy it to get it out, but once accomplished, the Powerflex bushing fits in easily.
Regular price is $50.00 ea and seems that most may be able to self-install in approximately 20 minutes. However when we install our first, we will price out installation.

The front motor mount for the Evo 4, 5, 6, and 7 is the same mount with identical fitment on all of those applications, but was never test fit onto an Evo 8, but we confirmed the fitment of this mount on a US spec Evo 8 at the importers location. Attached are photos of the fitment results.
