I have these same mounts. Great quality and I dont think you can go wrong for the price. Two steel mounts are the best way to run these. So if you are running the old style aluminum/steel mounts you should try and find a used steel one

Petros,

I guess it really depends on what you want to do with the car. If you plan to keep it pretty much stock, then I don't think you could go wrong with the Mazda parts...

I recommend going with polyurethane motor mounts, either the ones in the link you posted or these ones:

I have run them for almost 3 years now and am very happy with them. Poly mounts are cheaper than mazda oem and should last you a lot longer. I usually will vote oem in most cases, but not when it comes to motor mounts.

A lot of people say they're too stiff, but I don't even notice anymore. I always forget I have poly mounts. They do settle in, or you will atleast get so used to it you forget.

Those mounts looks pretty simple to make. Can anyone give me the exact dimensions?

Thanks.

Since the 93 has that crappy aluminum mount. You'd have to substitute it with a steel flat mount, which is the same one on the passenger side. The mount is transferrable to the driver side. You just lose the use of the heatshield. Just buy a passnger side mount form someone, and walla. You have a setup ready for poly!
