Does any one have the Hardrace FL5 rear motor mount(torque rod)? Wanted to know people's opinions or reviews. Thanks

I purchased one from @B16B

He had it on and liked it. I have not installed it on my car just yet. However from what I understand it's pretty much the Spoon mount.

Curious to see how it compares to the PRL

It works, but expect some increased NVH like every other upgraded mount.

I have the Prl now. It works but you feel the increased NVH on cold starts and especially when the A/C is on. Was trying to see if the alternatives like the Hard race or Wunderladen Racing were a little better.

The Hardrace mount is slightly softer but that's because it was designed to be a part of a system that includes the 2 side engine mounts as well. The difference between the 2 is nominal.

I've heard the Wunderladen mounts handles NVH very well but I can't confirm how true that is.

The best way to reduce NVH with a rear motor mount is actually to get Spoon Rigid Collars.

The PRL mount is nice and probably the most popular. Install some rigid collars and you will notice less NVH especially with the A/C on.

I will definitely be looking into the rigid collars

We installed a Wunderladen Racing RMM and Spoon Rigid Collars as well as Mugen lateral tie bars on a customer car and all NVH basically has been eliminated with this combination.
