The TRD engine mounts and the Cusco engine mounts lower the engine to lower the CG just a bit more. That is all out racing in my opinion, not needed for most applications

Concerning stiffer... the better (spherical bearings, or heim joints) I disagree.....

many cars can't run components that firm without the chassis being reinforced to tolerate the loss of bushings.....
.....remember our little AE86 is just an econobox, assembled for street use.... at least before roll cage and stitch welding

Concerning TRD use....... I've been their biggest cheerleader Hurray! They are compliant enough without sacrificing much. I've had people drive my car and were amazed at the control and quiet. They've lasted 10 years, and are still going strong. What else can I say.....???? I believe them to be worth 4 times the cost of Prothane because I believe them to be more than 4 times the bushing

Btw... one thing you can do with TRD bushings you can't do with Prothane, stock, or hardpoint mount.... set a preload on the suspension.
Look carefully at the trailing arm I posted, note the "teeth" in the center metal sleeve, you can tighten the bolts with them unloaded, or preloaded. This is a small way to add additional adjustability into your suspension........

You can |Sad .... OR you can ask for help!!!
