Evo VIII Entire Drivetrain Mounts, Bushings

I don't mean the suspension bushings. I'm pretty sure I have ALL of those. *Laugh* I've also replaced the front engine mount with a Blox piece and am very happy with it.

I'm looking for any and all options (other than OEM) for the following:

Left & right motor mounts (AMS, others?)
Transmission mount
Driveshaft "housing" bushings
Rear Diff bushings (Energy Suspension, others?)

Any other bushings for drivetrain parts (engine, trans/diff, driveshaft, rear diff)

I'd like to know who makes them and who sells them.

Thanks!

I'm having trouble finding the non-oem transmission mount. I can find the front motor mount. I can find passenger AND driver side mounts. But no replacement for the mount near the base of the firewall that holds the tranny.

Anyone?

I've found moustache bar bushings and driveshaft loop bushings.

Thanks.

I have the Beatrush driveshaft bushings and the black (graphite impregnated aka self-lubricating) Energy Suspension rear diff bushings. I'd recomend the Beatrush diff bushings instead since they're just inserts and not complete replacements making the install a lot easier, but if you're willing to take the extra step the ES complete replacement bushings will be stiffer, you'll just need to have them pressed in.

Thanks! I already have a front. Looks like I'll be selling theirs when it gets here.

Get ahold of TTP they carry Powerflex mounts, and I know for sure they carry the rear trans mount since I have one.

Buschur has a rear motor mount, mustache bar replacement and rear diff side mounts. Get ahold of them, all the parts work great!

We have all 4 mounts in stock.

Does anybody have the weight of the OEM mounts in comparison to the AWDMotorsports pieces?

I've got the complete rear mount (trans bracket, U shaped aluminum bracket, and 90 degree coupler link) and with hardware it's around 5.4 pounds. It seems like there might be about 10-15 pounds that could be dropped by a complete set of mounts/brackets designed to reduce weight.

Celica2Evo, do you have a link to the rear motor mount from Buschur? I can't find it on their site.
