Seeing that you have stock shock absorbers and this is not a pure race car, why did you decide to buy those?

I don't know, because I can? I thought about buying the poly mounts, but a lot of people who have poly mounts usually end up buying a torque brace as well. So I said screw it, why not cut out the middle man and use solid mounts? I'm not particularly concerned with vibration, it's not a Lexus and its already loud and 'rough'. They're not particularly expensive, and if I don't like it I'll change it.

I'm not sure how OEM dampers come into the picture, but I'm not done with the car yet. I don't have a massive budget for pouring money into this car, so I can only do so many things at once.

Haha, yah I know. I was young and dumb; and thought I'd take a chance and try the newer kid on the block, as opposed to the tried and true. The SPEC website rated it at holding much more torque than I thought I would need. I also got it local, rather than buying from the states or elsewhere, saved me substantial money with the exchange rate at the time. Well, it was supposed to save me money.

Now, very slightly older and less dumb, I've learned to do some things the right way

And as a bonus, maybe now the A/C compressor won't stall the car at idle (more rotating inertia).

very nice car...

I am looking forward to seeing it at the autocross and other random events around the summer...

that new exedy looks stellar... how much do those run for, regularly... ?
the motor mounts look like they will take all the abuse you will be sending their way...

I'm hoping we can at least go for one or 2 cruises before the summers over... get some miles on the girls... first I need to get my to run

I bought mine from RHD Japan, I believe it ran me about $1800.00.
