TRD Engine Mounts Options

[GT4WRC]

Front TRD mounts turned up this morning which kept me busy for a couple of hours. Front is easy as, but the rear is a real b*$&h! Still, after much frustration and perseverance, it was all done.

Here are the new mounts..





.. compared to the originals...



Only perceivable difference (apart from the TRD stickers ) are slightly different markings on the rubber (appear to be made by Toyo). Otherwise they seem to be exactly the same. Rubber is a harder compound which is where the real difference will be.

Once fitted, I took the car for a quick blat and the change was very quickly apparent. Old ones were certainly past their use by date and the car feels a lot smoother.

Are they worth the few extra $? Hard to tell. The old ones certainly needed replacing and I'm sure that standard replacements would have been just as effective - just gives you more bragging rights with the TRD ones I guess

Part numbers are
Front: 12361 - ST000
Rear: 12371 - ST000
