Neil, the way you oriented your mounts was in fact correct as far as the Fox orientation was done. The Fox subframe has contoured mounting platforms for those rubber mounts that only allow them to be oriented the way you did them. I still think you should turn them 90 degrees now though because the way the FOX had them was I think a reflection of the fact that it had a front wheel drive, to reduce steering feedback.
