So, I've got to think, if Group N rules allowed it, all the FHI Group N stuff would be poly or delrin or metal. If softer were better, why would they bother making the harder rubber stuff?
Ya pretty much!

its sort of a "showroom stock" for a while it required stock interior and rear seats. all the parts have to be made by that company, there are ralliart, subaru, puegot and probably other "group N parts" but i'm not exactly sure in what way the companies are limited in the parts they put out ...

Either way due to finding no other options it go it will be:
Group N Engine Mount,
Group N Transmission Mount 5Mt,
Group N Front Strut Top Mounts

I could go Group N OR Whiteline for : Rear A-Arm bushings (Caster offset +.5) , rear Lateral Link bushings, Trailing arm bushings

$782 (All Group N ) Versus $770 Mostly White line

Going All group N for the same price also gets me :
Front A-Arms bushings, Rear Cross Member bushings, stopper pitch

Probably $266 for a 12.55 Lbs flywheel and oem clutch kit

$400 D&D Motor testing 150 comp on all 4 ..

Also going to upgrade my fire extinguishers from 5BC to 10BC, install some sorta trunk wall in case of epic crash to keep tools from coming into the cabin. bleed the brakes, and 2 new tires.
think that's where i'm gonna say Uncle.

Though if anyone has some good ideas i'm game. though i'm pretty limited in stock classes. hehehe
