Coilover systems are lighter than stock a lot of the time. They usually have smaller springs and are built out of lighter materials designed to be used on the track.

As some of you know, Z1 Performance was kind enough to send me one of their prototype Comfort Transmission mounts for third party testing. This comfort version is 40% stiffer than stock.
I received it today and the plan is to install it Saturday. I hope to have a nice review for you all soon after that. Here are some pictures and let me remind you that this is a prototype and not final production piece. DIY possibly coming as well. |

I don't have much experience polishing things, but I do have a dremmel and some polishing wheels. Can someone tell me what the process is for polishing that mount a little? I dont want a mirror finish, I just have a day and I can't look at the thing and not do anything about it.

Yep, and Dremel makes the polishing compound. If you got your Dremel in a kit, you might have some already. It comes in little cylinder. I'm eager to see how this works out!

Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish is great. Not sure how it'd turn out with the mount... could end up looking like you chrome plated it.
