he has an FC, and i just looked in my VB catalog at the difference in mounts, and i can se that the FD mounts look much more structuraly sound then the FC mounts, the FC mount looks like a rubber sandwich in between the motor and the frame, as where the FD mount is encased in a metal box type thing.

I would'nt use that one because it has no way of absorbing the movement of the engine. That brace will eventually punch a hole in the side of where it's bolted to. Get one that has an absorber (shock) on it.

Of course the guy is going to say that! It looks like a cheap piece of junk.

Good one Don...after you posted that, I looked again at the auction...it does indead look like lawn chair material. IF he's sold 100's of them, chances are someone on here had to have bought one, but I doubt he's sold that many to begin with. I'd stay away, looks cheaply made.
Look at the one rotaryextreme.com makes and see the difference in construction.

Regardless of what people say it is a nice piece, i have one it helps with the chug in 1st gear and you do not want the one with the shock. why spend a lot of money on something as minor as that. its a fkn torque brace, if it holds the motor still than use it and by the way it bolts right on perfectly.

why waste money on a shock absorber?
well, not having a shock absorber defeats the purpose of having a soft/rubber mounted engine. you're basically putting all that twisting power that the rubber mounts don't absorb into whatever that bar is mounted to... it's bad design, sorry.

solid and in person it looks nothing like a lawn chair piece. look at what im running, its fine, and its not gonna punch a hole in your firewall, lol that was funny.see, if you have urethane motor mounts i might go with a shock one but with the oil filled crappy stock ones it makes a noticible difference and coming out of corners when you hit it hard i noticed a difference, the car doesnt shift as much because it holds the motor which your tranny and ppf which goes to the rear diff housing from moving. i had a shock absorbed one and didnt notice shi*.

Bolt one on and try it!
