UPDATE-
Just checked on my order with Glenn. They came in today! He now has 44 dogbones for the automatics available now. He said to me when I placed my order that depending on the sales of the dogbone, that is what will also dictate his desire to have the rear motor mount developed. The dogbone upgrade should be done for every s/c'd car out there. GIT-R-DONE gents.

Ordered the rest of the mounts at the beginning of the week. StockSolara, did you put everything in yourself or a shop? If you did it yourself, would you mind putting up a DIY? I know there is one for the dogbone, just curious about the rest.

I had a shop do it and it took them 7 hours to do the install and my alignment. . . It actually isn't easy work because. . . you have to take off the cross member in order to get the steering mount and the controls arms

..i was not planning on doing this mod but since it is cheap, easy and needs support i may

couple questions

what exactly do you get for how much..2 bushings for about 50 bux?

i read the whole other thread and i am a bit confused

i see a two bushing package and a package that comes w/ more for 100+

can someone specify?

also i have no upgrades to the engine at all cept a k+n drop in..still worth doing?

can someone specify? I have no idea what you're talking about. . . are you sure they weren't talking about all of the bushings combine will cost that much?
also i have no upgrades to the engine at all cept a k+n drop in..still worth doing? It won't be that big of an effect but just having some stiffer engine mounts will make you able to put more power on to the ground since it is lost from the engine shifting around

Call Glenn. His phone number is in the first post. He can give you all the details.

looks good. . . I wish I had taken pictures of the parts when they were installing but I was too impatient to sit there for 7 hours waiting for them to do everything
