Whats wrong with your aragosta ones??

Thx mate.

but if someone with DC5, he can use it straight away of the EP3's one, yeah?

if it was, then that means that DC5R has this problem as well and needs to change the mounts often.

i only changed the gb and hydrolic, my rear was still good as my mechanic told me, so i had a spare rear just incase

I have some 62a ones and hated the vibrations. So I recently reinstalled stock one filled with urathane and is performing very well.

Many might say its dodgy but It has held up very well with a few hard launches at the drags. Trick is to fill them properly and give it time to cure!

Each to their own, but I just couldnt stand the vibration. Rather feel the loud exhaust ;)

funny to say i put 1 mount in and it sounds like a got an exhaust system on now, shifting also feels alot more smooth and can feel it being more responsive

To fit DC5 you need, to use some washers up the back eyelet and use EP3 tie rods up front or......grind out the tie rod end hole to fit DC5 ones.!
