O'Reillys. i dislike the autozone thats in my town.

I called them earlier they said they could get them im guessing its these ones i never asked for the price lol i usually never do just want it the next day or today. Plus i usually get a discount.

Solid rubber maybe?
Solid vs. liquid?

I'm betting they mean solid rubber. When I had my nitrous injected 2.0 I kept ripping the driver side mount in two, I finally put a turnbuckle over to the frame!!  :lol:

i really wish somone like chuck made pinto urethane mounts! :( 

Guess i could always make my own solid mounts but im betting that would do horendus things to the front subframe on a hard launch since itll be a lil bit before i cage it or add subframe connectors LOL prolly just get the rubber ones and call it good for now at 12 bucks each its not like its gunna matter if they break LOL
