Sorry to say, but the mazdaspeed unit is far from bullet proof. It's simply a moronic design which has very little shear strength, odd considering that is the one force acting on the mount.
I sure as hell won't be buying another one (mazdaspeed) since they are over $100 now and I would prefer to have a Level Zero prototype over the PBM piece, but it looks like I'll have no choice since I'm not going to throw money down the drain on another mazda unit and this is the only one available....

Has anyone actually ripped the tab off the subframe? People keep talking about it but I've never seen a single pic of such a failure anywhere online...

I've ripped the mounting point off twice! Had to get rid of the solid steel mount, not only for it breaking subframes but I read that having a solid mount can oval out your ring gear I don't know how true that is..but I got tired of breaking stuff, and I didn't want to risk having to source another t2 diff

Not enough hours in the day. We don't release products until everything is perfect, suppliers are nailed down and we know we can meet deliver obligations. There are 6 small bushings used in the current design. They are made one at a time on a manual lathe. Urethane is difficult to machine at the best of times, when it gets small and accuracy is required it is damn near impossible. We've looked into having them made for us, but the cost of tooling up will signification add to the final cost.
We have a few other products we need to get launched right now, but the diff mount is on the active product development list.

I have this prototype on my car as we speak. I hope to have my car mobile by months end. Once I get some seat time I'll give feedback on the mounts performance. For now I can comment on fitment and quality which both are top top top notch. I also had LZM make me a set of delrin upper rear diff mounts/dushings as well as a set delrin subfram bushings. Again the quality and fitment are outstanding.
