The classic center will sell you great stuff. So will any worldpac dealer. Don't worry too much about the supplier if they can get you all the parts. -CTH

Thanks so much JMela, I'm in Brooklyn as well but I will be driving the car down to Charlotte NC to do the work.

No facility or tools to do it up here, Dad has airplane hangar and tools...

Just a non-specific FYI: If oil/trans fluid/power steering fluid is soaking the the rubber sections of any of these mounts, they will deterioriate very quickly. Be sure that everything is pretty dry in this regard, or the replacement parts will have a shorter than expected life span.

Thanks Paul, Lucky for me as of now the engine is dry as a bone.

I'm going to pick up the parts from the classic center tomorrow to take back to NY with me. My guy there gave his blessing for me to buy the febi brand subframe mount kit, about 75% cheaper than the OEM stuff that he was selling. He wasn't sure who made the OEM kit and for all he knew it could be the exact same.

I'm getting the engine mounts and the swaybar kit from him.
