Motor Mount Question...

Why is Energy Suspension @ $28 and Prothane Motion Control @ $60 so much different in price..... quality? The design should be pretty similiar.... Thanks for the input.

I didn't know energy made them for our cars. I ended up going with prothanes though.

Yeah, i knew there was a price difference, but not that much of one. Depends on where you look too.

Is it really that much of a difference or upgrade in going with aftermarket motor mounts?

I am going with the poly-urethane mounts because I have the engine out currently. I had been using a torque strap that worked well, but had to change out on occasion because the strap would fray where it contacted the k-member....hoping this change will eliminate the strap.
