The poly diff mounts are there as I want a weee little bit of deflection there so as to slow down the shock load transfer to the ground under load and back to the diff when you release the load.

tried the autocrossing in my BDR, I need p/s and a quicker ration rack for me to do it. Nice numbers on the "G" forces! and thanks for the Poly diff mount explaination.
