Mine is a rural kentucky DD car and I have no problems at all. Poly mounts in the rest of the car are an upgrade... so... yeah.

poly mounts are not always an upgrade. its well documented that poly mounts in some areas are horrible to live with.

I broke my stock 1le rubber mount and tried two different brand of the plain kind and broke them both right off the bat. So definately an upgrade, just like iron block has weight, the advantages are worth it IMO

Prothane might be a little better for the guys worried about the bump being too harsh as well since it has expansion pieces cut into it.

i was able to pick up two factory bump stops from my dealer just last week. they were the last two he had though. I didnt even realize it was getting hard to find them. I saw mine were bad, called the dealer up, they said they had them, so i went and picked them up. i guess i lucked out a bit.

It's talking about on the throttle bodies.. You grind away some of the material on it to allow the throttle blade to fully open, as it doesn't stock..

Never did get an exact price or where they came from. All I see is people saying you can pretty much buy them at any parts store! It's not a big secret is it! There bumb stops where did you get yours at!
