The place.... www.awrracing.com or www.mazdamotorsports.com
The price..... $136.92US shipped to my door
If you want to pay by Credit Card then go to www.mazdamotorsports.com because AWR is not set up to take Credit Cards.
But I got mine from AWR because he sent them C.O.D. and I just wrote out a check to Tony Woodford and gave it to the UPS guy when he delivered them.
I will keep everyone posted after I install them in about a month or so. I will try to take pics of the install and post a "how to".

I'm sure you guys already know this, but wheel hop is VERY bad for your car, not just annoying. And P5's (and prob P3's) have a nasty habit of hopping when cold in the mornings.

Look at the section in this link on motor mounts.
This is a nissan site (the dark side), and our Mazdas are not as bad as the Nissan's for contact inside the engine, but wheel hop can still jar the engine and tranny. The reason dealers dont put urethane (stiffer) motor mounts in cars is that more vibration is transferred from the motor to the chassy and uniframe, meaning your hands start to itch from vibration (among other annoyances). And why the hell does vibration make my hands itch? Dont answer that.
And the older your car gets, the more pronounced the vibration will be. BUT, you are also extending the life of both motor and tranny by installing stiffer motor mounts, at the trade of a vibrating car. But hey, some of us could use that action! DOnt get scared, our P5s are well-manufactured and the vibration will be quite acceptable, especially on a young motor. Just dont put them on your 91 taurus, lol.

if i can convince the wife. this and the kartboy shifter are my next mods.
MP3-Owner said:They came in Today! I can't wait to install them.
They look like high quality pieces.
Here are a few pics...
It only comes with 2 mounts? Anyway, I was gonna say to only replace the front 2. GOOD LUCK!!!!
Let us know of any "side effects"
Yeah, this is what my engine bay looks like right now...
So my install of these won't be hard at all, I will just replace them before I put the engine back in. So my "how to" will not be of any help to most people who have to try and put them in while the engine is still in the car. But I will take pics anyway just for the heck of it.
