well the best will be mazdacomp. but I *think* they are $100 each. but the prices arent' listed on there site. the only other option is stock ones from the dealership. if you're worried about the price of these I hope you are doing them youself. cause you are looking at *many* hours to change them them at a shop for lots of $$$...

why do you need to change these? I've never heard of a problem with these. only the front one.

well mazdatrix has them for 60 each. my diff mounts are blown to shreds. dont know what i did to them. my dads a mechanic so he and i would be putting them in.

ya they will just be the stock ones. you should check the price at the dealership, after shipping etc it *might* be cheaper. but mazda trix normaly has better prices on stock stuff.

the mazdacomp one is i think 20% harder (or maybe it was 15%) and it is 68 bucks

I'm pretty sure the mazda comp rear diff mounts only come in derlin. so they would be almost solid, not just 20% stiffer.

the subframe ones do anyways... and they are $85 each.

The previous owner of my FC had vicicous problems with axle-hop, and went through a slew of diff-mounts. I think he eventually just got one that was basically welded solid.
The guy who owns that awesome engine i posted pics up of was recently enquiring about interest in custom PolyUrethane Diff Mounts which were apparently bullet-proof. His car runs one, and puts massive power down through it, so it must be the full beef.

If you're interested, let me know, and i'll fire off an email to him.
Or, check out the technical (or was it the For Sale...) section of the AusRotary.com forums to get his details. I think he is on holiday at the moment, but he does seem to know someone that custom fabricates these kind of things for him.

yeah i get pretty bad wheel hop when i race but i havent raced for a while now. i remember that i brought the car up to 7 grand and dumped the clutch (dont tell me i already know, im an idiot!) and after that **** started happening, so i dont recommend doing that. i kinda like the idea of the ones for 85$ that are 15% or 20% harder. is the website www.mazdacomp.com ?

Yelow RX-7

oops i mean the ones for $68.

oh, i would be refering to the front diff mount in that post. I dont know about the rear ones. as of the last time i bought my front diffmount it was 20% stiffer rubber and it was 68bucks. i have had it for probably about a year and it has held up to wheel hop just fine

ok so then looks like im goin with mazdatrix.

Scott 89t2

mazda comp has the rear ones too like I said. but I think they are 100 each. but there price isn't on there page. so give them a call to check
