Hockey puck motor mounts would be over bdcs head

2x4 is where it at with him

I've been running the ES bushings foooooorrrrr.......16 years now I think? They all seem to be holding up pretty damn well given the type of miles that I put on the car. The MS pieces.... Not so well. Replaced the engine mounts a few times (mainly because the banzai cosmo motor mount adapters were not designed properly and the mounts were never loaded properly.) Once I built my own adapters the mounts seem to be holding up pretty well, they're actually strait now however they're still going to be need to be replaced but not with the same frequency as stock pieces. Even the front diff mount failed once on me.

Dave... Or in reality Kyle will be the one doing the work most likely... I would think it could be done in a day, I would check with Dave first though.

Using the serviceable S4 pieces doesn't change any of the geometry at all. You'll need a set of LCA's, a set of ball joints, a pair of the sway bar link brackets, and of course the end links as well. Last time I was there he had 2 Parts car FC's....
