J's Racing Reinforced Torque Rod

[maranelloboy05]

Has anyone used this one instead of the PRL rear mount? I'm an admitted JDM-addict so always try to use known JDM tuners parts where possible, logic be damned. Did some searching and haven't seen any references to this part, looks like its 20% stiffer than OEM, curious how that compares to PRL as well.

That Torque Rod is made by HardRace, which is also the OEM Supplier for Spoon Sports, also offer the same mount. It is stiffer than stock but softer then PRL, mainly because this mount is actually designed to work in conjunction with their Right Side engine mount and Left Side Transmission mount. Look at the Hardrace Global website and you'll see they match up

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for!

Good looking set of kit they offer, assuming they sell through dealers since there is no pricing on their website? Curious to see what their stuff costs, at some point will start going through the suspension and remaining powertrain mounts to get everything bumping to the same groove

The main reason I went with PRL was that they use EDPM (I don't recall which other RMM manufacturer had replacement bushings for sale, and recommended replacing the bushings every few years...)

Why EPDM?
EPDM is the perfect bushing material because of its high resistance to outside atmospheric elements (heat, ozone, weather), chemicals, solvents, abrasives, tearing and vibration. Because EPDM has a higher density than urethane, this means we are able to use a softer/lower durometer bushing to keep engine vibration to a minimum, all while improving rigidity in comparison to the factory mount(s). Unlike urethane bushing inserts, EPDM bushings will not mushroom, wallow out or breakdown over time with use.

should fit the Si as well since the Type R mounts are interchangeable
