just ordered some Buschur Racing motor mounts, I must have broken mine, the engine is flopping all over the place under load and the car feels like somebody is yanking the throttle cable back and forth sometimes. The FMIC got a hole punched in the back of it due to this movement I think

so now I have to do motor mounts, clutch, fmic repair, fuel rail, retune

Just ordered a full set of four the other day. I installed a Blox front a few months ago. The front, alone, made a huge difference. I'll be selling the front from this kit unless I like it better:

Good luck!

Well that sucks...

FMIC isn't cheap either.

Hope they work out for you. The set of four I put in have made a HUGE difference in the way it feels. I started the car and wondered who's car I was in. The old shakes are gone.

That said, the driveline noise is amplified.

But, between the new coilovers, bushings, and mounts, she feels like a kart or something as solid as everything is.

Good luck!

yeah I have solid mounts in my stealth and loved the race car rumble feel...so these two mounts should be fine for my taste. Whose mounts are you running?

AWDMotorsports sells them as a kit with a discount if you buy all four. Otherwise, available separately.
