Wow, looks like Rear Spherical Top Mounts are a good upgrade!

ryan@PdVmotorsports.com inspired me to take a look at how much flex our rear top mounts have when I asked about the spherical top mounts he makes.

We've all seen videos of front tension strut/thrust arm movement during driving, and readily acknowledge that going to a monoball there improves response, feel, and handling, so I wanted to see if we have much play in the rear shock mounts such that putting a spherical mount there will help too. I was pretty surprised at the amount of flex I saw!
