oem -good- made by a Mazda component supplier. A competition mount is likely to have different characteristics to a normal passenger car.

Yeah, NVH will go up, engine responsiveness and gear changes should also improve.

Found them really good, when I was doing the rebuild of my motor on my car. Gaskets, seals, timing belt.... etc
Landed in 3 days. Great prices for oem

$40 each x2 plus there shipping is cheap less 5% exchange rate. So for around $100 landed oem, pretty good in my book.
Really good company to deal with, answer all emails etc.
30% cheaper than what plohl paid. 1/2 tank of fun in the mx5 jobs a good'n

Corksports are $76 for a pair - it's plohl's express shipping that makes it more expensive.

how did you end up with $100 landed? its $79.90 (x2) + shipping, cheapest is $52.95. That's $132.85

yay for saving <$5 :D seriously, i may as well be pissing money away these days - stupid cars!

postage is the killer these days....

We'll see how long it takes to get them from corksport. Hopefully they be quick.
