I remember waaaay back when I bought a set of urethane motor mounts, their gimmick was "these are the last motor mounts you'll ever buy!" Razz

And that was absolutely true! After they cracked and deformed, those were absolutely the last urethane ANYTHING I ever bought! Rolling Eyes

Just saw this picture in the gallery that brought the memory back. Confused

EMPI urethane has and apparently always will be an inferior product.
Back when I worked at “The Worlds Largest VW Showroom In The World” the difference between EMPI and BugPack urethane was both visible and tangible.
So EMPI bought BugPack. Apparently just to kill it as they didn’t adopt any of the good stuff BugPack used to make/source/whatever.

To this day I refuse to buy anything EMPI.
