reference point- stock rmm duro is about -10 (yes, minus ten)
used bubble gum would work better.

based on your selections and criteria, get the 70.
-however-
if you drive like an animal (LC & FFS, drag or autocross), and you can raise your idle a bit (if you haven't already), get the 88.

88 it is.

Yeah my idle is raised a fuck-ton to try and combat smoking.... doesn't really help but i like the idle anyways.

Installed RMM on friday. but i accidentally hit my hand with a hammer and i had a huge blood blister thing right between my thumb and index finger. Should have taken an hour at tops, took two since the damn blister was painfully in the way.


Also, i bought the AWR RMM. You HAVE to cut off those stupid prongs. I tried bending them away and that resulted in a ton of fail. (one of the ends of the prongs are welded on.) Pulled out my multi-tool and cut the metal away in less time than it took to debate whether or not to keep bending/prying vs cutting. That metal is relatively soft.

Once that was put in, put everything back up and drove it down the road. LOVED it. soooo smooth. and NVH was NOTHING. I mean, the tiny ass amount of vibes was so little. I am really disappointed that people were telling me to go softer. too soft.

Seriously, pussy. Now that i put 60 miles on it, i barely feel it anymore and i kinda wish i went with a higher durometer count than that...

As far as the mount itself, if you really feel that you dont care (and have the means) about cutting the prong-things at the frame and would like to save a few bucks, go the AWR mount route. get a higher durometer count. 88 is really just minimum you should go at all. i would love to jump up to 95 DM

Other than that, go the sure/cpe/SU RMM route... it's brain-dead easy.

I ran 95 durometer motor mounts all the way around in my old MSP (RIP) and vibrations were pronounced, but not insane. Definitely not bad enough to offset the dramatic improvement in response and feel. I had gotten the weight down to around 2750 lbs... The MS3 is around 400 lbs heavier, and the MS6 is approximately 800 lbs heavier... I can't see the vibes being that harsh at all; especially in the MS6.
