Derelin is just fine for motor and tranny mounts. A mazda comp front diff mount and pinion snubber will keep things tight w/o creating excessive vibration.

I have a set of energy suspension RLCA bushings for sale because I have the individual camber adjusters instead of the single bar.

But if I ever do these again im definitely powdercoating front and back just to safe myself the headache of spending several hours of my day to clean/prep and paint them all myself.
red is a color that does not cover well, even when spraying red it sometimes takes 5+ coats to cover.

I removed my cailipers and dust shields, brake cleaned and wire wheeled them, cleaned them again and sprayed them with regular spray paint. I did it as a quickie to clean things up a bit and did not think it would hold up but its been like 6 years now I think?

Much has changed with the car and the suspension since this picture, but this is when I first did it
