Default Billet Prothane Motormounts Clearanced!

Just ordered a set of these on clearance for 78 bucks! Helluva price for billet prothane mounts if your looking to dump your stockers. Figured I would eliminate any more flex that will now be introduced after M90 install. Not to mention I'm looking very forward to the car rocking more like a cradle at idle with my Hot Rod cams with these mounts installed

And yes my M90 install is almost finished lol.

not bad. $100 after shipping is pretty decent. I paid $120 for mine non sale price shipped right before December.


FYI for anybody getting these. You need a 8mm allen socket. The bolt is a Allen head and quite a MAJOR PITA to install using the traditional "L" shaped allen wrench.

They do transfer the motor motion alot though. I'm looking forward to how the car will feel once I get my cams




edit: what's taking so long on the M90 install? that thing litterally drops into place. hurry up already

I know LOL. Other priorities have kept getting in the way. Plus the weather here now absolutely sucks so I haven't been real motivated to be in a hurry.

Haven't received it yet which I'm sure is due to the holiday yesterday. Surely I will get it today.

My question is, are these actually the Prothane mounts? The pictures certainly look a lot like the Prothanes, but the guy is saying they're LRI Performance billet mounts. Which, of course, leads me to believe he may just have taken a set of Prothanes, measured them, and started milling his own knock-offs. In which case, I'd rather spend the extra money to buy em from the folks that actually designed them.

@ Kotobuki

Good catch. They aren't Prothane. Look just like them though. Even the recesses on the flanges look correct. Oh well, I'm sure they are of similar quality

Seems like they have received good feedback on Ebay. So I figure for 78 bucks they're worth a try. It's about half of what the big name aftermarket charges.
