Anyone want to start making lower poly mounts?

Im willing to donate all factory mounts if some one wants to make some..

Also if anybody wants lower poly mounts post so we can maybe get a group buy going.

Looks great, can you do supporting mounts? I noticed that was just a torque damper.

Heres the factory dohc mounts:



I would prefer the rubber parts to be remade but with polyurethane.

I would buy them.

There are 3 mounts to be made. Something that would be good too is making all three so that the Engine and tranny sit slightly lower so that you also benifit from a lower center of gravity.

That is the case with other aftermarket poly mounts for other fwd cars.

I know that ZZ performance and some others sell the drivers side tranny mount, but I would rather install all three in mine.

NO If you are willing to do it theyre yours FREE! How much lower are we talking? The dohc pan can only take so much. Mine already gets damaged from time to time. Then theres dogbone issues..

I think it was meant that the aftermarket ones would be bought.

I need to look at the mounts and maybe some pics of them on the car and I'll see what we can do.

Ok since zzp already had a mount for our trans I would say we only need the 2 for the motor. I personally wouldnt lower the engine any because clearance is already pretty low and i dont know what it would do for lowered cars..

Im gona go take installed pictures now.
