i emailed them today sayin, i just made arrangements to have the money when they would be ready 4/9/10 & i didnt want to miss my chance. they said 2 of the 5 are sold already, & i would be #3 so that leaves 2 sets left of the 5 they bought. Then they are going to make changes & start producing. I just couldnt wait.

yea they do, its in a set of 3, both engine mounts & rear tranny mount,all polyurathane,kinda pricy but should be worth it for sure, should get some more tq w/less motor movement. dan @ assaultech gave me the best quote. pm him see if they make them for the gs430 or if maybe the SC set will work, i found a pic of them on ebay.
