John, when you decide on getting them let me know. I have the part numbers saved. I had to pay extra for faster shipping - it is worth it. I got them in 8 days after placing my order. Now that is fast considering they were not in stock and special order.
Well, I'm off to Harbor Freight to pick up a new impact gun. Sure I'll pick up more than the gun

Ahhhh... 2.5 hours later...
The mounts are in!!! They are QUIET... Just like stock... Already took it out for a run... Turn-in response is about the same...
Raised the car up a little bit (front only) while I was under there... Stripped 2 nuts... Good thing I always have backup nuts and bolts since I fiddle with my suspension as much as a do!!! Also, I swapped the mounts WITHOUT taking the suspension out... Maybe it would have been faster if I did ...
Best money spent on suspension - again...
James... How far is the meet from Starbucks?
John... You MUST get these mounts!!! Like NOW!!!
Paul... You have new brakes coming in... On top of that, your car can take any of ours... Not so sure about turns though...
Johnnel... You too man...

Well...found out where my rattle noise in the rear was coming from today. One of my dampeners failed.
I'm guessing from all the lovely pot holes I've hit over the months it blew apart the limit stopper, which was nowhere to be found.
Then caused the seal to finally blow from bottoming out completely and slamming my upper mounts many times.
There was oil all over the dampener and area. You can push it down and it stays down...not good...it's done
I hate potholes...
Rolling on rear oem shocks now with no more ratting. Oh well, know where my mod money going now...new rear adjustable dampeners

just wanted to share a few things i've noticed about socal to my 707 peoples.
1) there is a seriously higher percentage of women that have had plastic surgery down here.
2)if you think the roads in norcal are bad you haven't yet seen the 101 through LA
3)a snoop dogg/ tupac song plays on the radio every 5 minutes. i swear i could drive to work listening to nothing but snoop dogg if i simply scanned the three most popular hiphop stations out here the whole way.
4)Z's and G's are very common on the roads down here. i see at least five on the way to work each day.
5)and of course this one propably won't shock you but helllllll yeaahhhh....lots of mexicans. carne asada everything ftw.

That is cutting it close as I have BBKs and a rear camber kit, rear lateral bar and 2 new tires to put on in about 2 weeks. Plus I have to get that rim fixed 
Mach 3 wants to get my car ready for their booth at HIN so it's getting down to the wire.
I will be there tomorrow in the SUV.
