bwoody mounts

just wondering if the bwoody mounts are true solid mounts or are the poly mounts? the reason i ask is becuase on there site when you want to pick the color it ask what color you want the polyurathane.

They are more solid than stock.

You do not want 100% metal to metal sold mounts on your car, you will not be able to stand the vibrations.

We also carry mounts that have a very unique bushing design. Please check out our mounts @ www.TurboTechRacing.com

They are more prefered than the other company on a recent poll on this forum.

I have BWoody all around and love them. There is very little poly on them. Probably the least amount than any other company.

Lots of vibrations at first, but they take a while to break in. Give them 3k miles and it isn't that bad compared to stock. (I drive a stock SS/SC and mine back and forth almost daily)

Also, the powder coating they ask for is for the mount itself, not the poly.

I have rode in a redline with a solid metal to metal upper mount. It isn't that much different than mine.

The Prothane's are pretty solid, I like them but thats my prefrence, I've had a few ppl ask if there was something wrong with my car cause it idles so rough. I got in one to move here at the dealership and couldnt even tell it was running compared to mine.
After about 500 miles they soften up a bit, but ir definatly helped with wheel hop out of corners in autocross.

I also like the fact all i have to do is press the stockers back in if ever i want to.

i rode in RaineMan's car. He just recently installed bwoody engine and transmission mounts in his ss/sc. pretty solid car. i'm thinking about getting the tranny mount myself. vibs were there, but it felt agressive.

We have a set of 2 for $49.99 (cheaper than Jegs) and are a direct dealer with prothane.

If you find them lower we will beat their price on Prothane Cobalt products.

No one makes a mount for driver side motor. Getting the fuse box out is a real pain in the ass. I assume it is close to the passenger side mount design though. I had my fuse box out before, just never really looked at the mount.

Yeah, but he is talking about the 4th one that is on the driver side engine.

BWoody comes with passenger side engine and both tranny mounts.

Our complete set is only $220 for both tranny and the engine mount. They are on special. We use the Prothane tranny bushings for our complete kit.
