RMM blues. CPE rear motor mount availability 3-4 months out

[Chaski]

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'? ) 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.

Ditto what Msport said. CPE or vibra are the way to go

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

Nice! I have a vibra technics on the shelf for when my CPE eventually fails

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....

true. Perhaps a silly question in retrospect.

No such thing as a stupid question, there's only stupid answers lol

Incorrect.....There is no such thing as a stupid question only stupid people who don't ask the question and assume stuff.

Yes.
The Cobb RMM I had was totally smoked after 100k mi.

100k miles is good enough for me.
