I used AVID mounts on a swap about a year ago (b18/CRX). The guy calls me up and says his car seems to vibrate really bad, especially at idle. Since this guy is about 45 and wanted a "peppy" commuter car i knew he hadn't been beating the shit out of it.

When he brought it by I was pretty shocked at what i found. All the epoxy in the rear mount (or whatever the fuck they used) had melted. The rear T-mount was now resting on the sub-frame.

I have emailed AVID to see what they will do, i wouldn't usually use this brand but they were brought to me. I would only recommend their billet mounts. I had to shorten their shift linkage as well.

I am curious to see how they handle this.

Here you can see the mount bracket resting on the bolt head.


Here is the ooze.

 

Damn, that sucks. But i wouldnt rule out beating the shit out of it lol. Ive seen older folks drive em hard as a bitch. You might know the guy personally and know otherwise, buti wouldnt rule anything out. Ive used Avid before also, never really had an issue with the mounts.

 

wow,..
i know a few people who have used avid and have had nothing but troubles also..

motors sitting crooked, bolt holes not lining up, etc...
i second that, avid is junk....

they call my shop every other week trying to get me to start using there products, but until the prove to me they have fixed their products i def will not use them...
