Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - Are aftermarket engine mounts available yet?

My bro's RX-8 has just started to have the dreaded vibration at idle and shifts are kinda clunky. First thing on my mind is motor mounts! I did some research on the RX-8 club forum and the Mazdatrix website. Seems only OEM and upgraded OEM are available, with a heat shielded bracket.

I'm not interested in OEM. I've had great success in 1st gens and older rotary Mazdas with competition mounts (40% stiffer than stock) and hockey pucks (60% or more stiffer).

Not interested in hard mounts either. I want something that drives like the good old competition mounts for a 1st gen. Some give, but noticeably stiffer than stock. Does anyone make aftermarket mounts for the RX-8 yet?
