Bbm Solid Beam Mounts - Much More Noisey?

[nick205 12 5 Cars]

Considering fitting a set of the BBM solid alloy/acetyl rear beam mounts when installing a new rear beam.

 

Is the increase in vibration and road noise very noticeable over the OEM mountings?

It was in mine, but, the car was totally stripped out so i heard EVERYTHING

 

Be interested to see what response you get, im currently re-trimming mine to a road car and had considered if the mounts would be noisy...

I put the bbm mounts in my pug when I was using it as my daily driver and it was bit more noise but not to much for how much better the car felt in the corners

it got rid of the lift of over steer and to be honest I was expecting a lot more noise and vibrations but was happy with how they are and 3 years later and bout 10 track days later and 10000 road km later there still the same as day one

That's good enough for me, will be ordering a set of the BBM alloy/acetyl mounts.

Do it they are not noisy and make the car sooooo much better

Ordered a set this morning, really helpful guy (Stewart?) who has got them shipped today to make sure I have them before Friday.

 

Really looking forward to driving th car with completely new suspension all round and new tyres on as well :-)

I stuck mine on with some gaz shocks lowered 2 splines with some Yokohama 0A48 (semi slicks) and my car was transformed in to a real size go kart. just ordered few more things from bm yesterday to really good helpful guy and good shipping prices to gibraltar

Made sod all difference to the noise in mine - running full interior with 309 beam and fat ARB.

Certainly will!

 

I'm planning a set of BBM engine mounts next to further tighten the whole thing.

I was goin to but changed my mind at last min and went for the vibra technics ones insted still waiting for them to arrive so will let you no the diffance when there in the car

[nick205 12 5 Cars]

Must be so nice post in uk ive gota atlest a week over hear in Spain or Gibraltar

Certainly will!

I'm pretty sure you will feel a big difference in noise and vibration if you fit the whole set of those. I have them on a stripped car and it is extremely noticable.

 

I think some people stick with a standard bottom mount and change the rest

Comments noted on the engine mounts.

180 mile round trip to SSP engineering in Devon today to have my rear beam overhauled. Full strip, new bearings, new bearing shafts, clean and refit for £350, including fitting the BBM solid mountings. Coffee, good conversation and back in time to pick the kids up from school.

 

BLOODY WOW! the car is possessed, it feels so taught and alert it's untrue. The solid mount firing makes little or no difference to cabin noise, but really locks the rear end down.

 

So, recommendations for BBM and SSP.

 

on to engine mounts and gear linkages next.

I've got the gear linkage rods and they made the gear change so much tighter and a more modern feel im just waiting for the l bracket quick shift "one on the subframe" olny thing is post to Spain takes agesssssss
