Dinan claims that their mounts "increase shock travel by 10 mm for improved ride quality and performance". The only way they could increase shock travel by 10 mm is if the lower mount compressed to a thickness of 11.6 - 10 = 1.6 mm. Since (I am assuming they are) made from cast urethane they would need to be only about 2 mm thick to increase travel by 10 mm, and this would only be true if the OE mount itself was compressed to 2 mm in service (which is extremely improbable).
As usual, the marketing hype is overblown and vague.

Seems like the main benefit of the both comes from the much stiffer urethane bush and not the claimed increased suspension travel (in the dinan case).
So fe1rx what's the verdict powerflex or dinan mounts?
