Whats the difference between the ones you sell and these at about half the price?

Those ebay ones use really cheap bushings. The energy suspensions uses polyurethane bushings.

Default RE: Motor mounts

First things first: I'm not sure what a poly graphite bushing is. I've never heard of one until now. Second, it says that these mounts are "lower profile, similar to the mounting height of the Mustang convertibles" I'm not sure exactly how that works, but it doesn't sound like very much engineering went into it. Also, if they are "lower profile", I assume that means there is less actual bushing. Now, it doesn't say who makes the mounts, so I assume they are made by Dynamic Racing Products themselves. I checked their other items and it seems they make many of their own items. Personally, I'd rather buy something like motor mounts from a company that specializes in performance suspension bushings rather than a company that dabbles here and there making it's own products. I'd also like to point out that their feedback rating is 97.4%. That tells me that about 3 out of every 100 people that buy from them are not very happy with their purchase. Finally, you may have noticed that I haven't mentioned the price. Well, that's simply because I don't think price should be your primary consideration when buying parts for your car. I weigh value much more than price when considering upgrading my car. In this case, the ebay mounts cost $35 less than the Energy Suspension mounts. Weighing the aforementioned information, I think the Energy Suspension mounts are the better value.

Its does, thanks. I wonder what the difference is between polygraphite and polyurethane...... I'll look into it more and see what I can find out. I need to know cause the guy who owned my Mustang before me raced it a lot and the wore the factory ones down. Now the fan doesnt sit inside the shroud. So I plan to purchase some soon.

They look like the same as the other ones, just $10 cheaper. It seems like it's a pretty cheap mount, figuratively speaking. They're not "identical" to Energy Suspension mounts as they say, they use a different bushing material. I'd like to know who is manufacturing these look-a-like mounts. I only see them being advertised as made by the people who are selling them, however that's clearly not true.

How do new motor mounts help and how long does it take to replace?

They also help in hood clearance when running intake spacers or SC.
