If AWR had released mounts like that, Mazda would have sued the **** out of them probably :P

HARDRACE is in Taiwan where that stuff is a loot easier

But yeah, all the stock mounts have asymmetric rubber like that

are there different s techs for the protege 5 than the protege since the rear weighs more or is it the same?

S-techs are some of the only springs I knew of that actually did have a different model for the P5 that's one of the big reasons I went for them (After having goldlines that are just the same as the goldline sedan springs)

Tein STechs are the same for the Protege and P5. I think Eibach is the only company with different springs for sedan & hatch. Anyway it doesn't matter--Tein rocks either way.

Chris--are you race-prepping your car? 95A mounts, pillowball joints--hello NHV!

right you are.. it's just that they are gross on sedans (really uneven, lowers the front 2 inches and the rear like 1.4) and provide a niice, even drop on the hatch
