    I think the way you drive and where you live makes a big diff. in how long they will hold out. I'm an 02 with 76000 and my stocker is just showing a little wear and tear.

    How many have done this only to have it crack? I would hate to do this and have to do it again. Are the mounts better now?

    I've only heard of that one bad batch APR had a while back. I haven't heard of any problems since or with any of the other brands available.

    Question: Any B7 RS4 owners here installed a snub mount? if so, which brand would you recommend and how much many hours of work would it take?

    I'm considering it, as my engine is already out at the dealer. I guess I'll ask them about it.

    Re: How soon should you install a snub mount?

    Me and my friend did my engine/snub mount... Snub mount was pretty easy, it looked hard ( at least for me) from the pics, but it is much easier.

    Re: How soon should you install a snub mount?

    I just had mine done by futrell after having my b6s4 for less than a week. I was going nuts trying to get consistent smooth shifts and thought something was wrong with me. From the first shift after I could tell a HUGE difference, deff worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone.
