Default Solid Billet Aluminum Motor Mounts

For those looking for an alternative to the "soft" motor mounts, GSS Speed Shop (site sponsor) will be providing solid billet aluminum motor mounts for $225 shipped.

We should have the first set turned pretty soon and will provide photos as soon as they're complete.

If interested, PM me and we'll get you on the list.

(Cost above is for lower 48 states only - please contact me for shipping outside of this area).

Will do.

Do you not like the C.S. ones? I'm about to install those on mine - they look like really good pieces.

Not sure if that was directed to me or not, but if you're referring to my initial post, I didn't say anything about steel mounts. I said we were offering these as "an alternative to the "soft" motor mounts".

But just for the record, and not having any pertinence to this thread, aluminum IS softer than steel. :shrug:

Doubt this is an issue here, but aluminum has quite bit more thermal expansion than steel...You guys are brave running solid mounts on a unibody

I'd like to see some pics of this too and they better look awfully nice for the price

I actually have one of the first sets installed, as I was a tester. I have Kooks jet hot coated headers and starting to bubble. I am just interested in another design. I have good miles on them and don't have anything bad to say.

This price is awesome compared to D3's solid mounts! lol Still you guys missed out on those RC51 mounts. Those are freaking awesome. Not a solid mount but just as strong and he sold them dirt cheap compared to all of these other mounts (even the ones Moze is making) If there is ever another set available I would suggest you buy them!

Anyone know if the rc51 mounts are just as stiff as solid mounts or a good compromise?
