#82404, "Prothane Motor mounts. Is this a good deal?? Advice.."


          

I have an opportunity to buy a brand new set of all 4 motormount inserts by prothane. Heres what makes this opportunity interesting. The passenger side and driver side are already pressed in a stock mount. So, I get front and rear inserts, and the sides preinstalled in a set of mounts. So basically its plug and play with the sides. He wants $105 shipped. Is this a good deal. I think they are like $65 from summit but I would need to press them. I could always sell my stockers (side) after I install these to recoup some cost. Thoughts???

actually.. you dont press them in. you have to get the stock ones out.. but thats the only difficult part. the upgraded ones are in two pieces.

You can just burn out your stock mounts with a torch, and cut the rings with a hacksaw (that's what I did).

Go ahead and buy them for that price... it'll save you the frustration. It's not hard to do, you just have to get a little creative and it takes a little time.
