Yeah, I've heard stories of the stock motor mounts leaking fluid after a while.

Yeah, they do look quite a bit different. Which rear cradle do you need to use to put that into your C5?

Due to the mount change, I am using the c6 cradle. I am using the entire rear suspension. The spring is from a 2012 z06.
