    the side mount pieces are tiny.

    Every time a RACE part comes out we see a handful of guys wondering if it is going to be as comfortable as stock.

    Obviously if you solid mount a differential to the car it is going to transmit NVH to the chassis. The point is to reduce the axle movement for better control of the axle angles, thereby limiting wheel hop and possible axle damage.

    ok maybe we're talking about different parts.... the part I'm talking about is this:



    it weigh's an amazing amount

    the point I'm making about having a rubber bushing is with the solid part my friend car was undrivable for more than 5 minutes without doing your head in.

    do we have a video anywhere of something driving around with solid rear diff mounts to see how bad it can get?

    right, you are talking about the wrong part.

    This is for the brackets on each side that are near the pinion.

    This type of part is for a race car. Not for taking your whiny girl out on a date, not for going to the mall, not for transcontinental journeys. This is meant to do one thing and that is keep the diff in one place.

    No one is going to be able shoot a video for you of a part that doesn't exist yet.

    I don't even like poly motor mounts, so this is not for me. If I was serious about getting the car down a track I would buy one.

    if you say so, why would you swap the front braces and not the rear one then?

    since when were people buying Race only parts, most of what you see actually selling on these forums are parts that are dual purpose.

    Jesus if you can't wrap your head around a SOLID BUSHING being more for race than street and then want to sit here and argue that it won't be comfortable on the street I give up.
