    prothane motor mounts

    so, $84 shipped black, $89 shipped red. think its worth the $5 to have them red? i think the red looks better, but what is your guys opinion

    depends on how you want it to look. personally i would think black would look better, if you want a contrast or have red elsewhere in the bay go red. the difference is only 5 bucks. so if you like red its not like its a big difference.



    is this for that blue talon? or did you get something else?

    I like red but that's just because I'm a "ricer" and I want everyone to see that I spent an extra $5 on red plastic instead of black.

    ya, still driving my talon. its fully turbo swapped now, and just a couple weeks ago i got a awd trans for it, so now i got a really good trans, good motor and a 14b with minimal shaft play. surprisingly it has 180k miles on it.

    Yea and i don't really know how much of a difference the stiffness is but I'm guessing not much but i could be wrong.

    Nick, there is no difference between red and black prothane mounts, short of the dye they used when molding.

    Either color works, but I think they're they're the same price from most distributors

    Red is too distracting. Keeping it black and looking like OEM is the way to go.

    There is a difference in prothane colors, the black bushings have graphite in them to keep the squeeking down. Are you getting # 13-1902?

    well, i guess it's ONLY 5 dollars... if it was, say, 30, i'd go with black.
