Looking for peoples thoughts and experiences with the various diff mounts/cushions

Seems C-One no longer sell the beast of a rubber mount
J-Speed still sell an uprated item
Polish Paul offers a Polyurethane item
Mixer has just started to make a poly item too.
Stock Toyota item which im currently running and replaced maybe 10 years ago is starting to protest!

I doubt you will see any performance enhancement from a rear diff mount - maybe experience some more NVH due to vibration transmission from alternatives though.

Unless you are full race spec I see no reason to consider alternatives unless you DIY a polybush at a fraction of the cost and can check it is similar in flexibility to absorb shock loads.
