Engine mounts

Post by warrior » Wed Jul 09, 2014 11:17 am

I am after some stiffer engine mounts for my car. I can get them out of a few places in the states but the freight cost is stupid.

Anyone know the best place (cheapest of freight) to get them through?

ENGINE MOUNTS ARE AROUND $100.00 US

FREIGHT AROUND $70.00 US (QUOTE)

Just priced the mazdaspeed competiton mounts from the dealer...part # NAY1-39-040 EX Japan about 10 days wait.... $43 each

the slightly softer mounts(but still harder than stock) as used in the 2003+ mazdaspeed turbo N076-39-040 are similar priced.
