It should really be the first upgrade in my opinion or at least between tune and intercooler.
Dont get it twisted those mounts shake the car and need greased often. But they are stiff as stiff can be. Motor cradle staying put makes it feel like more power because axel output is not shared with a cradle twist.
There is a theory that they increase whp but not crank hp. Its been a theory since the hockey puck days but i havent tested it and no one else i know ever did
Thanks for the info. When you say “need to be greased often” what are we talking about? I’m trying to keep miles off the SHO. So I’d be interested in a mileage estimate rather than calendar. I’ve recently past a year with less than, significantly less than, 5K added to the odometer.

They are poly bushings( i think), all poly bushings need greased often like poly sway bar bushings and suspension components. Maybe a squeeze or 2 with a hand fitting adapter pump at every oil change to be over protected. His instructions say about it i believe.

The mounts are one of my favorite mods. My 1-2 shift was downright violent on the stock mounts.

For kicks I did take the front mount off for one trip to the track last year and just left the aftermarket rear mount on. Drove it like that for a few days and it felt sooooo much smoother than with both mounts, but time slips were consistently almost 2 tenths slower that day than normal. My quickest time that day was slower than what my usual slow time for a track day would be.

Very noticeable addition, gave my motor a mean little growl too. Not loud, just about noticeable...also no wheel hop since the addition....

Yes, I messaged him on FB Messenger. He takes PayPal "Friends and Family" or Zelle only.


Be aware that these payment options allow no customer protection and are preferred by Nigerian princes as well.

Typically they are just used to avoid paying taxes on income though so the risks are low.

Personally I don't use either of those forms of payments unless I'm sending to family or extremely close friends.

Also, some day it would be great if he joined the forums as a member or even a vendor.

I agree and am a little nervous about this method. If it didn't seem to be the best and only option, I wouldn't have gambled. Even more nerve racking, I offered to cover the fees and he was not interested. He is a member of a few FB groups. If anyone who has purchased through PayPal would chime in or PM his PayPal, it would make the next few days less nerve racking for me and may help others in the future.

He has been reputable as far as I know. I'm not sure why he does not offer other ways especially if you cover costs beyond avoiding paying income taxes. He is most likely making a few thousand dollars extra income and doesn't want the government taking their share. I know a few people here are sponsored by him so they can probably give you reassuring comments.

I'm only allowed 4000 extra per year without paying extra taxes, which isn't worth it so I just pay taxes and cover all bases.

He did say the overhead was so low that it wasn't worth it if he had to claim it. I have also heard a lot more PayPal accounts are getting audited.

Ordered my mounts from him, paid thru PP on 03 JAN 21, had a tracking number the next day, and arrived very well packaged a few days later.

Yep no problem with Anthony as well. Contact through email, purchased through Paypal, and they were delivered a couple of days later.

I'll vouch for Anthony as well. He's a sponsor of mine and a really good dude. He'd make anything right if there is any issues.

I love my AD mounts, but I understand why anyone would get sketched out, some real talk... why does he still have an AOL account?

Just because you still have free minutes doesn't mean you need to use them. (that's a joke for us old guys that pioneered the interwebs) ;)
