Did my first "launch" with these mounts on sunday.... hmmmm interesting......

so with the stock mounts.... id set of and once the wheels broke traction their was enough engine movement for certain parts of my s/C parts to Brush the hood... Also a very unpleasurable feel from the car itself.... Now im guessing the 10/15 or so trackdays ive done is what killed my 10k mile stock mounts which were split right round the base of the mount......

now.... onto sunday.... 10 deg C day, lovely and bright and dry, motor and tyres nice and warm by this point!!

so i stop in the road.... gently let the clutch out so the car is rolling on idle then mash the gas pedal to the floor..... the car lights up the tyres in first, change to second, same..... but it was such a smooth experience....i stop down the end of the road and open the hood, no more contact with the underside at all under the extremes of use and the engine control actually makes the car feel SMOOTHER under these hardcore situtions.... so so so pleased with these mounts and the competition units was 110% for me the right choice....

slowing down brings a resonance/ vibration to the cabin.... but its very very minor....

Re shifting?... my car has never had the grind issue, shifting always felt nice and i love the action of the z4m gearbox.... really looking forward to my first track-day with these on!! They definitely add to solidity of the drivetrain and for what ever reason.... shifting does feel easier under the extremes of use...

one thing i am noticing is a break in traction more/easier?? possible or placebo effect??
