I found them to be the cheapest aswell. I searched Canada and the US and found them to be the cheapest. Also their cool about sending It as a warranty repair thus avoiding Brokerage fees, taxes, etc Presently I am running w/o It. Need to clean out my engine bay.

Koyo ran me 375 IIRC. Around 410 with tax and shipping..

It's a drop in for 89-91s, I got mine to fit in an 88 by using 89-91 mounts and drilling two holes (it's about 1/2" off)

No other place to get the competition mounts that I know of.

When you drill the holes .. make sure you put somthing behind the hole your drilling.. it would be real easy to get through the aluminim sp?? and hit the core. get a piece of scrap metal .. or a puddy knife or somthing, thats what I did to be safe. I got comp. motor mounts from Mazdamotorsports.com ... very good price for aftermarket mounts. I think I payed $25 each.

?? I drilled holes in the radiator supports of the car.. The drivers side bolted up fine, the passenger side was off by 1/2", drilled new holes, used fender washers behind the bolts, and away I go

Ahh, thats a idea. I drilled new holes in the side of the Rad, where the mounts go ... took the clip washer bolt thingy out of the from hole and snapped it in place in my newly drilled rear holes and Wala. .. worked perfect.

ahhhhhh, ok. Well, the S5 mounts bolted right up to the radiator, so that wasn't an issue for me. however, the mounts wouldn't line up to the 4 holes in the radiator supports on the chassis itself.. I could get 2 of the 4 to bolt right up, but the other two were in the wrong spot.

Its got a thicker core, and a higher rated cooling ability. And its cheaper.

Up to you whether its better or not though
