Exclamation CS Mounts vs UUC mounts

OK, I have read a bunch of old threads but which motor and trans mount does everyone have? I was planning to replace the motor mounts, the trans mount and the diff bushing all at one time. Most likely when I install some H&R springs in April. Who sells the UUC products, I found the website for the CS stuff.

Also, I see a lot of people have installed Z06 end links. What is the advantage to them versus the stock setup. And where would I go about buying them?

Is there anything else that I should upgrade while I am doing the springs and mounts/bushings??

thanks in advance!

UUC doesnt offer the trans mount at the moment.. i Broke 3 of their motor mounts in the last few months. Just ordered the CS package (motor and trans mounts) yesterday.

I'm installing my CS mounts hopefully this afternoon. From all of my research CS is the way to go. Just heat wrap them for the extra protection. Plus I got the CS motor and tranny mounts along with the diff bushing for $419. I think its like $450 just for the UUC motor and tranny mounts.

CS is the way to go. Heat wrap them and use the heat shields and you should be good.

/\ yup.. uuc have been "redesigned" a few times .. they go from a stud to a stud with a small dia. washer and call it a bullet proof redesign... garbage.. search around on Cowners.. dozens of threads about this topic wit pics of the carnage

i have grey CS MM.. wrapped headers and the dinky heat sheilds.. still look brand new as of last month after 5+K

The UUC don't even have a washer! They went from a round Allen head bolt to a regular hex bolt. They are garbage!
