Motorsport StreetSport Engine/Transmission Mount Pair, 8J/8P Audi A3/TT 3.2L & MkV Volkswagen R32, Billet Aluminum
034Motorsport's Motorsport StreetSport Mounts for Audi 8J/8P A3/TT 3.2L & MkV Volkswagen R32 models are the new standard in ultra-high performance. These mounts are designed with extreme performance in mind, manufactured from billet aluminum and high-durometer rubber, making them virtually indestructible, while maintaining better ride characteristics than polyurethane alternatives. These mounts have a lifetime guarantee regardless of power level applied and type of application they are used for.
These heavy-duty mounts will result in a moderate increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) transfer into the cabin, as they are designed to drastically reduce engine movement compared to the factory parts, but will introduce less NVH than our TrackSport mounts due to the lower-durometer rubber used. Additional NVH is most noticeable at idle, but once the vehicle is moving, NVH is slightly higher than stock. Installation Effort: DIFFICULT
NVH Levels: MED - HIGH
NVH is the measurement of how much noise, vibration, & harshness gets transmitted into the cabin of your vehicle. The 034Motorsport Motorsport StreetSport Mounts transfer a medium to high amount of NVH to the cabin based on user feedback. 034Motorsport StreetSport & Tracksport Engine & Transmission Mounts have a 1000-2000 mile break-in period. Increased NVH can be expected upon initial installation, but will decrease as the rubber breaks in. NVH is subjective so some users may find NVH to be increased or decreased from our rating.
Product Description:
034Motorsport's Motorsport StreetSport Mounts for Audi 8J/8P A3/TT 3.2L & MkV Volkswagen R32 models are the new standard in ultra-high performance. These mounts are designed with extreme performance in mind, manufactured from billet aluminum and high-durometer rubber, making them virtually indestructible, while maintaining better ride characteristics than polyurethane alternatives. These mounts have a lifetime guarantee regardless of power level applied and type of track racing they are used for.
Motorsport StreetSport Mounts are void-free and fluid-free, eliminating the slop associated with the factory engine/transmission mounts, and are designed to be completely rebuildable with replaceable Density Line rubber bushings. These heavy-duty mounts will result in a moderate increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) transfer into the cabin, as they are designed to drastically reduce engine movement compared to the factory parts, but will introduce less NVH than our TrackSport mounts due to the lower-durometer rubber used. Additional NVH is most noticeable at idle, but once the vehicle is moving, NVH is slightly higher than stock.
High-Durometer Rubber vs. Polyurethane:
Density Line Mounts are manufactured from high-durometer rubber instead of polyurethane for a number of reasons. While vulcanized rubber mounts are more expensive to prototype due to increased complexity of manufacturing and high initial tooling costs, rubber is inherently better than polyurethane as a damping medium for mounts and bushings.
Rubber is able to deal with stress under both tension and compression, while polyurethane mounts rely on the damping medium to be effective only under compression. Rubber is also excellent in shear, where polyurethane is ineffective, making it ideal for applications that apply a shear force to the bushing during articulation. Rubber does not pack and wear like polyurethane does, which ultimately results in a long-lasting part with consistent performance.
Buyer's Guide:
The following guide is designed to help customers choose which mount best meets their specific needs.
StreetSport | TrackSport | |
Power levels exceeding Stage 1 | Power levels exceeding conventional stages | |
Car is launched or taken to HPDE or Drag events | Car is heavily launched at drag strips or only used for track events | |
Car is used on road as a commuter | Ultimate performance and rigidity is desired | |
Less NVH is desired | "Where we're going, we don't care about NVH!" |
