Just got it today. Polished w/red bushing. Looks AWESOME. I was just wondering who all actually replaced the 18mm bolts when installing the new mount. When I swapped out the stock one for the RK one I didn't replace the 18mm bolts. What is the reason for this and why is this reccomended?

I'll post my opinion of the two. But I think that I know the results. I love buying from Aaron! Thanks in advance to anyone who knows the answer on replacing the 18mm bolts.

they dont want to be held reliable if the bolts snap, so to cover their ass, they say to replace them.

The bolts can be reused.




SPD RCR Z - '02 Z24 420whp
SLO GOAT - '04 GTO 305whp
W41 BOI - '78 Buick Opel Isuzu W41 Swap

i'm pretty sure that everybody reuses their bolts!

yup

i reused mine too. only problem ive had with my mount is after awhile, the vibrations made the mount pinch on the firewall side, and it made a hellish squeeking noise. a little lithium grease took care of that!!

I realize my engine and whatnot is dirty/messy, but come spring I'll give it a good washing. Anyway, finally got my upper mount on. For some reason the tone of my exhaust seems to have went deeper and as for the vibrations, hardly seem to be any different than stock though you can notice it slightly.

All in all, thanks to Turbotech Racing for a great product

On an interesting side note... all my bolts were 15mm. Went out and bought both 18 and 15, and only needed the 15.

I re-used my bolts also, and noticed the exhaust sounded deeped especially when starting up the car.
