Question Figs Differential Mounts

So I'm planning on ordering the below two mounts:

1) Rear Diff Pinion Mount Modular Performance Plyurethane Bushing (Product Code: DIFF-RR-COME_2400) http://shopfigs.com/v3/BSH_RRPINCOMP...?search=pinion

2) IS GS LS SC Supra Rear Differential Mount Polyurethane Bushines (Product Code: DIFF-RR-COM_2400) http://shopfigs.com/v3/by-vehicle/IS...2400?limit=100


Now the problem I'm having are the options I have to select for the second bushing (Differential Mounts).


Vehicle (OE Diff Bushing Type) Do I select 2IS 3GS IS-F (face-Mount)?


Rear Diff Face-mount Option ( If application is Face-Mount) What do I select here:

SS Spacers and Ext hardware for Higher HP?

OR

Molded Face-Mount (Like Factory mount)?

When I purchased mine, I went with the molded face mount and chose the performance option over comfort.

No worries, my friend. I've had some great help over the years on the forum. Happy to help out whenever I can. But a definite thanks to FIGS for providing ample information before making the decision on any of the customizable options on its products.

I asked Mike. He told me what I needed. I put it in. I never looked back and I love the way the car performs now.

My guess is that it keeps the diff from flexing with wheel hop.

Yea when you feel the heck end lose traction and studders/bounce up and down. My car did it on the second gear shift the last time I was running drags.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but is it the face mounts or pinion mounts that get rid of the rear clunk? I guess I'm asking if doing the pinion mounts by themselves will be beneficial.
