Kein / Unrivaled Performance 3rd Party Engine Mounts?

I suspect one of the engine mounts on my car may need replacing. Since OEM ones are no longer an option, I was wondering if anyone had tried these?

They claim to be "handmade" to be a direct replacement. They're on e-bay for $113; which seems reasonable for a pair of 3rd party replacements that claim to improve on the OEM design.

Re: Kein / Unrivaled Performance 3rd Party Engine Mounts?

This is my first time seeing or hearing about those. There are many SVX enthusiasts overseas but I understand the hesitation with ordering with the possibility of it not working out and not able to get a refund.

If you do proceed and they end up working out please let us know!

Re: Kein / Unrivaled Performance 3rd Party Engine Mounts?

First batch were mis-dimensioned between the mounting studs. That has been corrected some time ago per reports. Mounts are very stiff again per reports. Nice to see someone doing this for the SVX. Another option are STI group N mounts with modified mounting plates. Search the forum on how to use the group N mounts. Apparently between OEM and Kein in stiffness.

I added those mounts from eBay to my watchlist and recently received an 8% discount from the seller. Tempting but I still have a set of new OEM mounts I haven't installed yet.

I'd keep an eye on the shipping price, too! I just realized the ones I linked were substantially cheaper, but come along with a $50 price tag for shipping. The ones listed in the $170-range ship free. So, it all kind of evens out, but that's a hefty addition to the price!
