The stock bushings saparate the studs.
If you don't use this style, then you will transmit almost all of the engine vibrations to the chassis via the connecting bolts.

Yes.
Question, hot shot: what is the point of these? Mazda competition mounts are more than enough for street use, and for competition, why not use solid mounts?
It seems like a lot of effort for no reasonable gains.
