Thanks mate
Because nothing is faster than a p plater in a commodore.....

Ok ive answered this question about ten times and this is what you do.
All FTO's have stuffed side mounts. I was thirst to change mine few years back. What happens is the mounts sag causing your engine to sit lower than what it should and from this rip your front and rear mounts to shreads. That's why the smaller rear always look like sh*t when you remove it.
A good test is your bell housing bolt sit about 10mm above your center member. If your mounts are stuffed the bolts almost touch the center member. Sometimes you will notice scratch marks from the bolts running on it.
The reason people are going stiff front and rear mounts is because their side mounts are stuffed and using a stiffer mount gives the mount more durability which is a half arsed fix.
Fick your side mounts and your front rear mounts wont need extra enforcement as it will not be resting on the mounts hence no damage.
My mounts were stuffed years ago and I will be very surprise any of except the ones who have replaced them have good mounts.
Change them and you will be shocked how better your car will feel like driving it.
Its 140 for the bushes on the side and about 140 for the front and rear mounts with bracket included.

Can you link me to them payaya? This maybe a stupid request but i have NO idea what mounts your talking about, are they from an evo? lancer? a mack truck... i dont know. I need specifics so i can go get them. I need all 4 i know that but i need a link to them or where i can find them, that would be great if it not to time consuming for you.
I need an answer like "you need the mounts off of a mitsusbishi evo 3 and here is a link to where you can get them" or something along those lines
