The same company which makes the mounts for hardrace also makes them for Megan. Doesn't matter who you buy them from you will be getting the same mounts

I've got a pass side mount on my car, and have had zero issues so far.
That looks to me to be user error or another failure to me. Not sure where I see a direct correlation between a mount and his motor loosing a bearing?
Unless I'm missing something.

Either innovative sent him the wrong hardware or he put the wrong bolt in but it broke right into the girdle and sent aluminum pieces through his motor. Unclear exactly what happend but just shows it is possible

To me it sounds like innovative left out the hardware. He went to a hardware shop and tried to get his own and bought a bolt that was too long. He then torqued it through his block.... Thats what I am reading into it anyways. This is the first failure of this sort that I have heard of and it seems that people have been using them for awhile now.

I read in his original thread that he installed the OEM bolt in place of a missing bolt from innovative. The OEM bolt was longer and he just cranked it in there.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled mine twice to switch out the bushings and haven't had that problem. This was simply an expensive case of user error.

i wonder if he overtorqued the ever loving shit out of the bolt. there are tq specs for a reason.
sucks though. and i agree, for a daily driven car just keep replacing stock mounts. i have an innovate trans mount and the car vibrates at idle. its annoying. id go back to stock if i wasnt lazy

The red 60a ones right? It prolly was me. I bought them and only installed the trans mount. Then I got worried car would vibrate even worse with all of them and said f it. Man that sucks it melted on u? They need to replace that. Sucks .
So these oem replacement ones. Got a link? Just on case mine shit the bed.

That's not good news for me. I split an OEM motor mount last year and installed 75A s on both the motor and the tranny.
They feel great on the track, but they shake the crap outta my car, and vibrate at idle. I ordered some red 65A bushings for it, hoping to smooth things out; but that doesn't sound so promising now. Anyone want to buy a set of innovative mounts with both 65A and 75A bushings?
I gotta do something -- either back to OEM or try the Hardrace mounts. Thanks for the info, guys!
