These are definitely on the dream list though. Anything that makes the car understeer less.

I'm surprised no one has jumped on these TRD mounts.

It might be useful if you could get a durometer reading from the two different parts. Most people wont understand the numbers themselves, but if you could show that the TRD part was say 30% stiffer, it might help convince people to upgrade from rubber to rubber.
Mazdaspeed offers a lot of "stiffer" rubber parts like TRD does, and neither of them seem to market them well, very little information is ever given. People understand that a bearing or poly bushing is different/better, but when you see it is still rubber it is hard to grasp that it is an upgrade. A tire durometer gauge like the one from Longacre could be used to get numbers off of both parts. http://www.longacreracing.com/catalo...id=237&catid=9

I had no idea Willow Springs was so bumpy... With the massive rubber mounts gone I can now feel every bump on the track. Steering effort has been reduced, which is a really good thing with no power steering and 10" wide slicks, and you can really feel the shocks and springs hard at work.
I would not recommend these for the casual "street" guys, it could make your daily drive a bit more abusive depending on things like your spring rates and tire profile, but this is an autocross/track must have.

Sorry for bringing an old thread back to life.
Anyways, I had to send my KW's in for a rebuild. Hit a huge pot hole and some how it was the rear passenger side strut that went out. I decided to buy a pair of the Cusco mounts after reading this thread. Plus I figured the cabin noise blah blah blah, is kinda lame because any other car without the centerlock front suspension sits on some type of harder mount/camber plate. When I get my suspension back I'll take a couple shots of them mounted. Jason, thanks for the testing them out and providing real feed back.

Oh yeah, I guess you're right it's a shock back there. I got them directly from Cusco but I buy pretty much everything else from Micro Image.
