Question Steeda HD engine mounts..

I am wondering if anyone has installed the Steeda HD engine mounts?
I have been looking at the picture Lethal has on their site in comparison to the picture Steeda has on there web site, for the same product.
Lethal's site:

Steeda's web page:


One is Machined and the other is Welded... any idea which one they are selling.?

Thanks!

i just ordered prothane mounts from brenspeed. they are coming on friday and i should get them in on monday night they shouldnt take to long. the only difference i could think of is that the machined ones(red) may be shorter and let the engine sit lower for clearence under the hood. im sure someone else may no more.

I'm not sure people are following me...

Both the pictures illustrated above are the EXACT part number, but they appear to be completely different.

OK so I have figured it out, The one from STEEDA's web page is a OLD picture which is no longer sold.

I know you're not looking for feedback on different mounts, but I also went with the Prothanes. Most of the parts on my car are Steeda but you can get the Prothane's on Ebay for $120...

Funny thing is I ended up buying those exact ones from Summit in McDonough this morning. They were the only place in North Georgia that had them on hand, so I figured it would be smart to change them out while doing the LT install.

what is the real benefit of going to an HD motor mount? i understand that they limit engine movement/deflection, but does that actually help improve performance?

wow shadow, your sig pic is great!

but to get back on topic, wouldnt the CHE brand K member brace w/torque limiters do the same job as these mounts? i have been debating both of them.
