Anybody that has experience with the STI motor mounts, do they reduce the drivetrain slop any or much at all? Like say when you let off the throttle or get back on do you get less slop than with the stock mounts? I'm still NA btw, but have been eyeing these to install along with my whiteline positive shift kit I have already.

As for where to get them, I got mine from a local supplier here in Australia, Import Monster. North Shore Toyota in New Zealand carry a lot of TRD product on the shelf and may be able to ship relatively easily to you.
I figured they were probably the same. Didnt know if one version had a supply I could get or not.

Go check how much your engine rocks on stock mounts, now cut that about in half. And the time it would take to travel from new max travel to old max travel is the “delay” or “slop” reduction you’ll feel. Its subtle but still there.

I have also read about TRD motor mounts but havent found those for sale anywhere. Is there any info on these available.

Basically, I've decided I hate the cusco trans and motor mounts I have put in. So I'm going to try the STI mount and the whiteline trans bushing. See what happens.
Don't know if there in stock but here's a link:

Sti is oem +. It is subtle yet noticeable. There are stiffer mounts out there. It all comes down to what you want.

@Summerwolf

Try Japanese import sites like Nengun or Blackhawk Japan. I have used them a lot to good success. Prices are pretty much on par with what is being sold in US marketplaces (if it can even be found anyway), though obviously you can benefit from a little shopping around.

I found that when I bought TRD motor mounts from Blackhawk Japan shipped via DHL, the total came out pretty much the same as STI mounts from US marketplaces. I had a set of Blitz Gauges in the same order, and that made overall cost with shipping pretty reasonable.

However, check the shipping quote before you finalize the purchase. Shipping might be not be as competitive right now (depending on what you order) due to suspension of SAL Mail via Japan Post (the equivalent to the USPS).

I've bought TRD one's from Fennsport in England. Were in stock then.

Suspension of package acceptance is EMS, not SAL. this is mostly because of a reduction in commercial flight capacity.

UPS, DHL, Fedex should still work. UPS usually is way overpriced, but DHL/Fedex, though not japan-post cheap, often have reasonable shipping costs.

Are they the same as STI ones ? I was thinking about ordering a set from them.

FWIW, I have a new set sitting in a box if anyone is interested in taking them off my hands. PM if interested.

Swapped to the cuscos.
20mins of driving later.
Swapped back to STI lol.
those aren’t no joke.
Will be putting up a almost new set of cusco mounts on classifieds soon.
Probably doesn’t help all the other drivetrain mount/insert/ 1pc driveshaft.
