Very true! I'm not knocking them, just saying that everything has it's breaking point sometime or another realistically. But the FLM are definately durable. Best bang for the buck!

I don't. Maybe cuz they are connected to the bulks and not the chassis though! :005: But seriously, no, not personally.

They are a bit heavier.. but DAMN, those are nice! I doubt the weight will really affect anything.

Mike.L 02.08.2007 05:31 PM

Sylvester 02.08.2007 05:38 PM

:eek: I wouldnt even say they were more than 4.5mm..

revopqrs 02.08.2007 06:00 PM

well.... my my jammin fte has 5.2mm towers, and the flm are quite a bit thicker. they measure 3/8th inch exactly. the 5.2mm measure less than a quarter in. i have nothing to measure mm..... not sure of the conversion? im guessing 9mm ish....:028:

Well i dont know, my motor mount for my LSP looks similar maybe thinker and only measures 5.8mm narrowed down. Either way, its THICK!

revopqrs 02.08.2007 07:36 PM

did the conversion... 9.398mm

coolhandcountry 02.08.2007 08:23 PM

I measure mine at 9mm. It could be give or take a few with a caliper.

Sylvester 02.08.2007 08:33 PM

Wow! Sorry i must have been waaayy off with my caliper! My lsp motor mount is 9.5mm thick! But my inner depth is a little smaller so it is easier to mount pinions.
