I think AMS sells a softer durometer mount for the X, it'd be in my first round of mods if I got an X.
Boomba advertises their mounts as being moderate. They are too new so I haven't seen any reviews. They look the sex, though, I'll give them that.

Not related to your build, but I wasn't sure if I told you about the BIR instructor who also has an Evo X. His name is Tom Hazen. I have seen him there before. Maybe you want to look for him there for tips on driving since he drives his car there as well.

Yeah, he was the guy doing some laps before we got out on the track. I will be doing quite a few days with BIRPerformance so I'm sure I'll have him as a coach at some point. :)

That is evoatcha on evomn. He was on here for a brief while, then we had um....how to put it politely? A fucking huge misunderstanding. He might be welcome if he pulls off a huge apology.

I had him as an instructor one day and he seemed fairly nice. I know it ins't my business, but it would be interesting to know what bugged you guys about him. I think he is big into auto-x as well. I met a few viper guys at the AUto-x event at the Amery (sp?) airport. I think he was running that one if I remember correctly.

I will also say that Tom Hazen isn't welcome around here. I also refuse to go to events he organizes (Wisconsin road tours, Amery airport speed run, Afton hill climb, MN Austin Healey gymkhana) and more or less tell the same thing to people I know.
The guy is a grade-A creep. You may as well not have any women around that you care about if he's around. He came on here for no reason other than to beg for volunteers to work at his event (the hill climb I believe) but would not let anyone actually participate in it. It was either full or he had the remaining spaces reserved for certain people. Apparently this site isn't good enough to ask its members to participate in the event, but he can ask everyone here to work at his event for free (lunch was provided...) at the last minute because he couldn't find anyone else to help him out.
To be honest, I though Tom was fine at first, maybe misunderstood at most. I met up with him and someone else for breakfast one morning before heading out to Cokato to race karts. All was well, was full of himself when behind the wheel but no big deal. Even had a couple beers with him and a couple other people afterward. Then he came to an EvoMN/MitsuStyle gathering at Midway one summer night, creeped hardcore on all the women, and later posted up his plea for help here and that was all she wrote.
For sure ask Anna, Janelle, Ali and Emily(ylime) what they think of him.
