Yeah i saw those a while ago, not rotated just a stock mount out of 6061 with poly.

As far as copycats there not bad as they just made a stock mount with poly inserts more or less like zzp did back in the day.


There are a lot of copycat vendors going around lately though.

I loved my OTTP rotated mounts, friggin' tight. The car drove like night and day. There was no hesitation ("lag") waiting for the transfer of energy, it just went instantaneously.

The car just feels more stout and connected to the engine, if you can imagine that. I kind of liked it. It's not obnoxious or anything, you won't be rattling things off your dash. And I had no weird plastic vibrations on the interior.

Get the rotated tranny mounts. Worth the money, and some say less vibration than poly's

I had those on my car a year and a half ago, I got rid of them for the OTTP rotated mounts.

Vibrations were absolutely terrible, and I got more wheel hop with them then the OTTP mounts.
