Either/or. The bolt holes of the brackets on the STi mounts (at least the Group N ones from Rallispec) will line up with the ones on the EG33. But, there are only 2 bolt holes, while the stock motor mounts have 3. But I figure if 2 bolts is enough for an STi, it's enough for the SVX. The Grp N bracket will also cause the motor to sit maybe half a cm lower. Not enough to effect anything, just pointing it out.

The alternative is to open up the bolt holes on the SVX brackets to accept the slightly closer together studs of the Grp N motor mounts.

They are a decent bit more firm than the stock ones too, so be prepared for the car jiggling just a tad at idle.

I have no idea if any of that applies to the stock (or other aftermarket) STi mounts, only the Group N ones on the Rallispec website.
