I pulled the engine out yesterday and found I had 4 engine mounts, that is 2 mounts split in half. Where can I find some?

I used stock STi mounts as replacements.

what year of sti mounts did you get? Or what years will fit?

I ordered the STI Group N engine mounts from the dealer. The brackets that come with it are slightly different from stock. I ended up using the STI engine mount and the stock mounting plate. All bolted up just fine.

The other plates are just a little bit bigger and beefier. There was no need to use the stock plates because the other ones bolt on and mount just fine.

They ARE different:

Holes are in different places:

They'll still work though. Been running the STi mounts for some time now.

With the STI or stock plates? I'm not disputing the STI Group N mount will work fine.

Your pictures didn't work. I wanna see this because I am running the STI group N mount and bushing. I had no problem with installing it. I just wanna see your pictures because maybe I got some weird plate or something.

Yes, the plates are different. So what? They bolt up to my '91 SS perfectly. STI GR. N rubber and steel have been on for five years, no problem. They probably were designed to be used as set, for a reason. Use the plate and rubber together. Or do what ever you want.

i used both the sti plate and mount. engine bolted up fine.

The reason they're different is because the bolt holes for the engine mounts are directly in line with the mounting holes on the outsides. This is said to reduce stress on the plate and bolts because this way there's no leverage.

I'd use the STI ones with the holes lined up. I installed Group N STI mounts. I can't remember if I used the stock EJ20G plates or the Group N plates. There's probably pictures of it in my build thread. I almost think I may have used the stock ones because they had heat shields but I'm not sure.

+1 on using the STi plates that come with the Grp N mounts

No problems here after 2 years

Pretty sure I used the STI mounts with their plates as well and had no problems.

Posted: **Wed Oct 28, 2009 4:41 pm**

I used them as well. no problems at all.

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2009 10:52 pm**

Yeah....I used the sti plates that came with the mounts.
