Also, looking at the prices on Subaruparts.com, if they did break when I took them off then I would have to wait a while since they are $360 for both. 
I would definitely have to drive around with broken ones until I got the money for them... |
There is a cheaper option of using Group N STi motor mounts, which are cheaper ($100~$120). You re-use the SVX motor mount bracket, by oval-ing one of the holes for the two bolts that hold the mount to the bracket, and adding ~1/4 inch of washers between the mount and bracket (or 1/4" steel plate welded on would be better, but welding is usually a technology that DIY-ers lack ready access to). The Group N mounts are stiffer, so they will affect NVH a bit, but not too bad that it's not worth the hundreds of dollars in savings.
