my parts car had s--- mounts on it so want to upgrade to a better stronger mount instead of fill them.Ive been looking around and all i can find is the mazdaspeed mounts from corksport.Is there any other companies that make good mounts and has anybody used or is using the mazdaspeed mounts?

I have been trying to find other solutions too. My girlfriend's mounts on her car are trashed and I've been trying to find out other methods besides filling or Mazdaspeed.
For me a while back I got the MS mounts from corksport and they are a huge improvement over stock, kinda pricey though. They also no longer have them on there webite (unless I'm blind). I've been gonna call them to see if they still have them and how much. I think I paid $300 or $400 a couple years ago.
RR-racing sells inserts for front and rear mounts for like $55 but they only work in mx6 and pgt mounts. There is also like one more company that sells custom front and rear mounts but its probably also for just mx6 and pgt.

At one time I had manufacturing fabricate a bunch of new steel shell for the motor mounts made a jig to hold the bushing while the urethane cured but other that one set for myself never made it to the plastics shop to have the urethane poured

I was at the local Mazda dealer recently and for the first time I was asked if I needed the soft or hard motor mounts. Same thing with the front control arm bushings.

dang, thanks. I swear I looked through absolutely everything and couldn't find them. Guess the mazdaspeed are the only option, besides filling, for the mx3.

i ended up guttin the old rubber out of the mounts and refilling them with plumbers putty.This stuff is hard as rock when cured.It says on the tube that you can drill and tap it when dry and it has steel added to the putty to make the stiffness.I gutted the rear mount and just filled in the front mount.Seems to work fine.
