Yes, those ones. But not the OEM ones. URO makes a version that is only $80 a set on Ebay. I hear the non-OEM ones can be hit or miss with longevity, but for that price I'll chance it. The rest of the parts needed (5mm washers, long bolts) I got from Pelican Parts.

As I said, here in Georgia, LEOs will generally give you 10 mph to even 15 mph over the posted speed limit. That's what they consider "minor" speeding violations. Try driving past a LEO at triple digits and you'll get stopped if he's paying attention.

You doubted "an official would direct LEOs to not enforce all speeding laws". In NJ it did and does.

I think your going to really like the mounts, especially if you drive the car aggressively... I had installed new OE "soft" mounts only a year or so ago, but upgrading to the *much* stiffer RS mounts made a HUGE difference to the crispness of the car and the shifting.

I did notice an occasional, very minor sunroof rattle that previously didn't exist, so for drivers where low NVH is more important than crisp handling and shifting, probably not the mod for you.

Future reference, Plastidip avoids having to remove it and looks great

I already have a LWFW and JIC suspension with solid upper mounts, so the NVH from the engine mounts will just blend in with the rest of it. LOL

These don't appear to come with the concave washers that you need for them though (mine did), but they are pretty cheap to buy separately.

Here's the complete list of stuff you need:
