I want something that is going to hold up. I want the two rears and one front diff mount.

Who makes the best products? And what are some pros and cons of the different designs/materials?

BTW I do the occasional run at the track and several autocross events.

I currently run solid supernow diff mounts at the rear and a standard diff mount at the front..

broke all three last time i was out drifting... so hopefully this set-up will hold togethor a bit longer... suposedly the solid rear mounts reduce the amount the front one twists .. so it is much less likely to break... i have done 3 drift meets and it is still in one peice.. so looks good.

Check out the Mazda competition mounts; for some reason, they cost a little less than the OEM. This link is for the front mount from Racing Beat. Mazdatrix sells this same front mount, and also carries the Mazda competition rear mounts. I have the competition motor and transmission mounts (and like them), and am in the process of installing the competition rear mount, because they were all cheaper than stock, yet still retain the quality, and most of the compliance of the OEM units.

I've never tried the solid mounts because I think they would be too harsh for everyday driving. The Mazda competition mounts are 30% stiffer than OEM, but still rubber, which I think is a good compromise.

Dadgum it, the link didn't work. Go to the above link, find ring & pinion / differential in the drop down menu, and then the comp mount is about the third item down.
