I'm with ya on this one! Not looking for discounts or handouts, just happy to give feedback on design and function :) Ron has already gotten some of my money and will get hopefully much much more of it!
I've only ordered a small cosmetic piece from Ron but as soon as my race seats sell I'll be putting an order in!

For the durometer ratings, if I had to guess, I'd bet they go something along the lines of:
YELLOW: 60a
ORANGE: 80a
RED: 94a

Since I have 80a DIY filled engine/transmission mounts, I might as well replace my Cobb RMM with either the orange or red mount, assuming the quality is there. Count me in!
Just for reference;

Mitch once told me that the cp-e RMM is somewhere in the vicinity of 75a-80a on the durometer, but you would have to check with him to confirm, since it was a while ago.

I do have one good question!

Are there plans to produce a rear bracket as well to get rid of the stock stamped steel piece?

I have been really wondering if that upgraded bracket is what makes the cp-e and Boomba stand out from the crowd!

This could also be totally sold as an add on to keep the price of the mount down and I'm sure it will add to the nvh vibrations so it may not be for everyone...

Are the bushings interchangable in the mount, so you can swap them when you feel the need?
^^^This.

And if so, is a press necessary to accomplish that?
update on bushing swaps and the mount materials

first off the mount is 7075 aluminum, 304 stainless cut washers, 304 stainless hardware will be included
the body is anodized and lazer engraved
the bushings are high grade polyurethane

now to answer your bushing swap questions
they CAN be swapped - it's not "easy" but if you know what you are doing and have the right tools, it can be done.
There will be a version 1 kit that will be the bushing durometer you order
There will also be a version 2 kit that will allow you to order the mount with your first choice of bushing durometer installed + an extra bushing set in another durometer for future changes if desired

good news ........right?????

do not hold me to this
as this is still being worked out
but the discussions for the single bushing durometer mount, not including shipping $139.99

maybe for an intro price or group buy? cheaper we shall see but I'm not promising anything
for this product that can deliver 3 levels of performance that no other rear mount can
no more debating "buy this one because of this that or the other thing, or XXX mount is the best for daily and XXXXX is best for the hard core guy that doesn't mind interior vibrations

This mount is the solution to all variations of your tastes
I'd pay more than other mounts personally[:0]

But, it will be priced right in line with others if not lower than the competition...[deviltail]

Ill take one when they come in with the STREET, TRACK, or MOTORSPORT bushing?[cheers]

I'm highly interested! I would want a track version.

Of course price is key, it would be either this mount or a cp-e so really the final call between the two is price vs features. Hard to completely commit with out all of the details :)

Thanks Ron!

Right on,

To be honest it boils down to the difference between using the oem stamped steel mounting bracket vs the cp-e with its milled bracket. That 15 to 20 price bump is justified for just the bracket. Torsional stiffness between the two is huge, bushing duro is only as effective as the mount that you are bolting up to! If you can get a rear bracket option as an upgrade or included I think you really will have the holy grail of motor mounts!

Fuck, working at a prototype machine shop and starting a new job in material science/ alloy development has made me the WORST kind of shopper... Sorry Ron!

No matter what you are getting my money!

*Raises hand* Count me in as a definite for either the TRACK or MOTORSPORT version, depending on the durometer ratings of them. Speaking of, can you tell us what durometer rating each version is?

yes

75, 85, 95 are the durometers of the three stages

I would be interested in a Street one. Was about to order Cobb stage 1 kit but will hold off and just get the AP for now if these are coming soon. I like the idea of the Street RMM being a bit softer than most other aftermarket options.

Any update on these? Wanted to place an order for a ramair filter and shorty antenna. Was hoping to include a motor mount in the order.
