Here is where I got mine at Summit Racing. They are the cheapest I have found at $105. They have the black polyeurathane. For some reason the red one are more expensive, but from some research, the specs are the same as far as performance. No one sees them so why get the red then.

Hi Ricky,

I'm using Steeda motor mounts with one red and one black puck on each side. No clearance issues with my JBA shorty headers which are the bulkiest header package on the market due to the equal length design. The Steeda motor mounts with the 50/50 red/blackisolation pucks are a good compromiseto me in theamount of noise and vibrationthat gets into the cabin. I had tried the all black setup but that was really too much, not quite asmuch vibration as an all solid motor mount but pretty close.Steeda's motor mount system allows you to tune the level of engine NVH you are willing to accept in the cabin. The red/black mounting puck combination is pretty good, the car jumps right NOW when you launch or get on the throttle and to be honest there is more engine vibration than with the stock O.E. fluid filledmotor mounts but the difference in response is more noticable than the increased engine NVH.

Prothane also makes a very good motor mount with an almost identical design for our cars and I think they can at least be purchased with your choice of red pucks which are soft but stiffer than stock or black which are very stiff and introduce a lotmore engine noise and vibrations into the passenger cabin. Both are good designes and work fine.

HTH!
