Kevin...

I've placed an order for them, but haven't gotten mine yet. Gert says it's a good upgrade for anyone who's got a lowered suspension. I believe cjv (Chad) has them on his supercar... Chad??? Any noticeable difference???

I'm guessing it's a stiffer rubber mount to compensate for the stiffer suspension setup that comes with the X73 package.

TCM will become famous soon enough
The harder compound rubber mounts take out the flex of the engine when pushing the car. The hard rubber does not impact the shock as well, keeping the whole engine more rigid. Not a bad upgrade, but make sure you realize that some other aspect of the car will now have greater forces on it when pushing the car. This upgrade could cause something else to fail prematurely (of course, what mod doesn't), Please let us know how you make out.

no problem msindi and TCM:
I've just told Gert to put it on my order list... I'm likely to get all my stuff in about a week or so. b/c it takes about 3-5 days for my all the stuff to get ready... GT3 Console delete, GT2 Trunk Organizer, Tire Sealant.. bla bla bla...

I'll make sure to post some pictures of the installation...
And my Ruf suspension is on its way... wahahahaha... can't wait till everything is installed... and my stereo too...wahahahaha...
I'm not all excited... ^______________^
