Quick question for you Phil - how have you found the transmission and engine mounts? I'm looking at replacements for mine as the OEM stuff has turned to Jello - Innovative seem to be good value and the 75A stuff seems to be the best compromise between service life and stiffness.

I really like the mounts, Jay (lucky77) will be able to comment on this aswell having been in my car and driven with them on

There is no gear stick movement, like no movement it also goes into gear more smoothly and quicker,

the engine does not move one bit, so hence there is alittle more vibration through the car though, the only down point, but it gets better with time


they do the 65a(or60a) which would be best for an N/a and a s2000 with not alot of torque

easy to fit aswell

Thanks Phil,

I'd looked at the 65A series but there's been quite a few problems with them wearing out prematurely - 10% stiffer I think i can live with on the basis I only want to do this once.

Does $300 delivered sound about right to you for the three mounts?
