CTR FL5 Rear Engine Mounts

[saGOD]

I know that PRL, 27WON, and Hasport each offer these mounts.
Anyone recommend one over the other or are they all pretty comparable?

I get so much wheel hop in 1st and 2nd, so want to make this my first performance mod.

What about white line inserts?

The Hasport link OP used is the 1.5T mount kit (all the mounts) and the price reflects that too. This should be the correct one

Is NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) important to you? If this is your first time considering any motor/transmission mount and you do care, I'd suggest you to get a ride from someone who has done the one you are considering. That way you can be sure you can live with the change in vibration/noise.

I would skip the insert when changing the rear mount since the actual bushing material is not part of a subframe. The PRL rear mount is the softest since it uses EPDM instead of Polyurethane, a great upgrade if comfort is a priority. Hasport is theoretically less stiff than the 27WON rear mount due to its design, but bushing material is still the same.

If one doesn't mind, the best option is toget the Hasport kit if it's available. That way you have all the mounts with matching stiffness to reduce powertrain movement as intended.

Thanks, updated the original post.

Has no one else considered getting one of these mounts?
Am I the only one that gets crazy wheel hop?
Lol maybe I just need a driver mod.

Anyone tried this? How difficult is it and how much would it run to have a shop do it?

I am current running PRLs, and I like it. Hard for me to give you a comparison bc I picked up my CTR..drove home..and then installed it lol!

outside of wheelhop is there anything else that the engine mount helps with?

In my experience (mostly with VAG applications) it generally helps put the power down. In Theory that should assist with wheel hop as well. Hard to explain, but "more connected feel" I think gets the job done

Upgrading rear engine mount reduces engine movement. One of OE mounts' primary goal, besides supporting the engine and drivetrain, is comfort.

Too soft, you have too much engine/drivetrain movement for performance driving or just simply collapse very fast. At least it'll be comfortable.

Too hard, it sends too much vibration at idle that you may not like to drive it daily. That depends on the engine and car as you can have solid motors, yet still ok. Many performance mounts has aluminum base instead of steel, which can pump more noise inside the car.

If you are picky about vibrations and only want the rear mount, then PRL is the way to go as it's made out of rubber, just harder than stock so it will give you less engine movement and reduce wheel hop. 27WON is theoretically the hardest due to its construction.

Did some live field testing and figured I’d share my results with the community:

PRL RMM has been excellent. After two weeks the NVH has gotten even better

I have the Hasport 62A on mine and 0 wheelhop and vibrations are not bad.

I am going to start with the cheapest and easiest option, which is the Powerflex Yellow insert. After running Hasport mounts on my FA5, then finally settling with 3M window weld as the best option, I won't be doing solid poly on my FL5.

It does vibrate a bit down low but it feels really connected. Both are good options.

I assume you’re talking about polyurethane plastics. But PRL is the only one that uses EDPM rubber. Rubbers in general absorb vibration much better with a much higher temperature tolerance
