1) I don't know of anyone commercially that is selling such a beast.
2) It's a stupid idea.  Why?  You end up breaking the rear diff mounts itself.  I'd rather have the front diff mount break than the "ears" of the diff housing itself break.  Unless you're planning to strengthen that part too?

sorry i meant front diff mount. the most common one that breaks. was gonna get it welded but they wanted to charge me $130 extra because he said he had to lower the rearend down. so i said forget it i'll do it myself.

www.mazdatrix.com has a new shipment of stronger diff mounts in. But you gotta call them, as they are not listed on their website. Good luck!!!!

It's not listed on there site, just go to www.mazdamotorsports.com and find the # and call them to order. just tell them you want the comp. front diff mount for you year/model. (probably all the same though) I think it was $63. if not it was 60 something.

Do not hard mount the diff to the subframe. One of the jobs of the mounts is to break before the ears on the diff do. Use a stiffer Mazdacomp mount, DO NOT WELD.
