    They are all very similiar, but my vote goes with the one that has been around the longest and has a proven track record.(CPE)

    For that price it looks like it's worth ordering and trying out if you're interested. Order the smaller durometer number for street use.

    How ugly does it look!

    Powdercoating aluminium for corrosion resistance, thats a new one.

    Not the prettiest thing is it?

    Powdercoating to cover up ugly machining marks?

    From stock, to GT3071, to substantially less modded, many lessons learned!

    they had the cheek to write "Aesthetically pleasing". Maybe they have to have a look at their competition (hinting SURE mount) Price is good though

    the Dog Bone style ive read has slightly more vibes because of the way it is compared to the other, but both should bed in fine

    im running TRZ Race lol, after not driving the car for a while and now driving it again, i still dont find it bad but that's just me

    Just installed the 70 Duro today. Here in under 2 weeks and great value at $120. Vibes are non existent without the air con on and the car feels so much more solid. No little clunk on take off anymore and you can feel easier gear changes from 1st to 2nd an 2nd to 3rd. Nice snug fit as well. Definitely recommend this and I'd say the vibes from the 80 Duro couldn't be much worse. I'll give an update after a couple weeks on the air con vibes.

    OK 2 week update on my mount. AC vibes have subsided and most of the time feel no differen't to stock. When the idle revs move slightly you do get a bit of a vibe but not like your sitting on a vibrator like it was when it was first in.
    I thought when people talked about the vibes it was going to make the dash rattle and stuff like that but it's nothing like that. It just makes the car feel more solid and tough.
