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.
ah ok thanks icingdeath
well they are cheaper then the stock ones so i may aswell get them il email the company

Re: How to replace engine mounts?

Anytime, I just wish I had taken pics when I did them since people seem interested. You can probably get them in Australia, just the part number.
