Question Who has solid motor mounts

Where can I find some of these to replace the factory rubber mounts. The car is an 88 10th AE with a 20b. I already haver the k2rd adapter kit but they still incorporate the original rubber mounts.

I don't know of anyone with SOLID engine mounts. Mazda Motorsports has some that are 40% stiffer than stock, but other than that I've never heard of any others.

solid motor mounts are commonly used in domestic drag cars as they reduce engine torqing in the chassis and can sometimes aide in traction. Also, and i think this is the main reason, they dont break as easily.

I made the ones in my race car. But you have to be careful too many hard launches and the mounts will start to tear out of the cross member or worse the motor. I would not recomend them for a road car.
