Mine are lighter. Spohns motor mounts were copied off of mine. I would buy the originators instead of the duplicators. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

<strong> Spohn makes a set also and they are rated at 8.5lbs each. They are little cheaper but seem to be 2lbs heavier than Madmans. Does anybody have a accurate weight? If Madmans are deffinatly 2lbs lighter i will get a set also.

I believe the Spohn's were powdercoated and had support gussets 4-places per end.

How much do the Madman's weigh, each, and what about paint / powdercoating and gusseting? Inquiring buyers & minds want to know.

BUT THAT IS HOW THE CUSTOMER GETS BETTER PRODUCTS. <img border="0" alt="[USA]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> And that is one of the reason I love America.

Is Spohn a sponsor? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I know that Madman is. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

No pimping a shop unless they are a sponsor. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Lets play fair here. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

For the extra 5 bucks, I'd much rather deal with Madman. I've dealt with spohn a couple times and their shipping&handling policy was pretty comparable with gmpartsdirect. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Madman: haven't happened to have gotten in a shipment of driveshafts yet have you? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If the BMR uses the stock mounts then I have them.

The driveshafts will be here tomorrow.

I think dealing with Madman is a lot better..I think our car is proof of that.. So we vote for him. If anyone does not like that then you can just kiss our ***!!! OOPS second thoughts we would not want you to do that!! You may have a virus/germ....
