GW! Hasport mounts look great! What compound urethane did you go for?
Yeh the torque mounts are the ones at the front of the engine, it would help to leave them on there but i had OEM ones filled with polyurethane that were too solid and transfering vibrations to the cabin so i removed mine :)
Thanks they look alot better than the old ones i recon :) I got the 62A rated ones, Vibration is less than i thought it would be which is good. I went from mounts filled with sikaflex 255 ES to these and they seem to be softer surprisingly.

Cusco Brake Stopper
Nice one are they any good? havent use a brake stopper before.
DO the brake stopper eliminate the annoying vibration when braking over a uneven surface? such as over a pot hole or bad surfaces? always wonder how to cure that......
No idea on on both accounts as I am yet to test them out, seems to be a worth while mod from what i've read
brake stopper will stop the fire wall from flexing when on heavy braking.
it will aid in brake pedal feel
Finally changed out the 13 year old rear speakers, i must say, the overall sound system is much much better now, was running just 6 inch splits at fronts, now 6 by 9 and splits :D
though it was a bitch getting to the rear speakers, a good 1.5 - 2 hour job >_<
