Engine mounts for f20/22 swap 86

Postby lucky13evo » Sat Apr 13, 2013 1:24 am

Looking to see what the general consencus is on engine bushing mounts when it comes to installing a f20/22 into ae86. I am in the middle of the swap right now and wanted to use trd mounts but they are next to impossible to find. So then i thought what about cusco and vaguely remember people saying that the lower height on these cause issues with the f20/22 swap hittting the subframe/steering rack. Is megan the only other option out there?? Does anyone know where to get trd?? Is cusco ok to use?
I would like to use trd first and foremost, but if not available cusco and megan seem to be the only options. Preferably cusco would be my choice but i am worried about the height issue.
What would you guys recommend??

I had the Cusco mounts in mine, the oil pan to rack clearance is retarded. I think I could fit a credit card after grinding the mounting brackets for the steering rack down. I would recommend the TRD mounts for the AE86. Stiffer than stock. Idk about megan, but I kinda refuse to run anything of theirs on my car, just seems too ching-chong made for me. I don't trust it for track use.

hit up herb in parts at Cabe Toyota in Long Beach, anything AE86 OEM/TRD that I can't get stateside I get through him.

TRD mounts are awesome and not that expensive. Great part to have.
