About a month and a half ago I decided I wanted a CPE rear motor mount. Placed an order from a trusted retailer on the forum. No dice. Called up CPE to ask if they had any in stock. Got the “we are 3-4 months out from shipping”. Called up a few other retailers, none had any stock. Looked on eBay, “purchased” one to get a message from the seller that they don’t have it.

Anyone have any suggestions for a RMM that holds up? I live in a climate with hot summers and cold winters. Also run a full aluminum skid plate under the car which probably cooks the RMM a bit. Anyone besides CPE using a bushing material other than polymer? My old COBB RMM is toast. I can grab the oil pan and move it fore/aft about 1.5”.

The Vibra Technics mounts use a similar EPDM rubber compound (or are they both ALL 'natural rubber'? [dunno]) to the CP-E, and they may even have a tiny bit less NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) than the compound used in the CP-E mount, at least in the VT 'fast road' configuration/spec.

I believe that Ron has these on the shelf ready for delivery.

Done. Got ahold of Ron and had my order changed over to the Vibra-Technics

at the risk of thread-jacking - do motor mounts, even aftermarket ones, eventually wear out? I assume so but I'd never really thought about it. I think I've had the Cobb RMM and the Powerflex Bushings installed on my car for the last... uh... a long time. Since I got it.

Everything wears out over time, entropy is part of life....
