Just ordered a complete set including Engine,Transmission and pitch stop mounts, cant wait till they get here!!! hope the improvements are massive because my transmission moves a lot!

I was hoping this was a for sale thread, lol

hahahah ya i looked everywhere but no one has any for sale had to buy new ones but i found a good price and i really need um

Where'd you get them from?

Yeah, what ^ she said.

Yeah what he said ^ . I got mine used from NASIOC. I would suggest trolling the FS section day and night searching for Goup N Mounts until you find a set of used ones. Save a lot of $$$ this way.

I ordered them from here https://www.flatironstuning.com cheapest place I could find besides used!

What's a link to the page you found them on?

Thanks, I wasn't able to find it for some reason.

Let us now on how it feels after the install. I'm curious.

It'll definitely feel more solid. You'll also have more NVH.

Guess what I finally got today

My question before I try and install them is, can I use the new mount bracket that came with the engine mounts?
or do i just use the original ones?

Well I am an idiot I thought that I was just going to be able to swap the transmission mount no problem well dumb @ss me for got that my car is only front wheel drive and of course the the mount is very different! well there goes that I guess all have to hold onto it until I do my AWD swap! I did get the Pitch stop mount in, that wasn't hard swapped right in! I haven't noticed much of a difference besides theres lot more noise, who knew my old mount was so worn out it look good hahah

Yeah, there will be more noise. You should use the new metal brackets that came with the sti mounts.

I have been reading a lot more about these on other forums, and people that I talk to are saying that they wont make much of a difference! is this true? they say that unless your putting out a substantial amount of power they wont benefit you much.

You should sell me the trans mounts, lol. My thoughts are: with the age of these cars, the original rubber mounts have degraded enough that these (or brand new standard ones) will make a noticeable difference. One thing about your situation is you're running new engine and factory tranny mounts so you probably won't feel as big a difference as if you did that one too.

My SS came with these silly gel filled mounts, so by the time I purchased the car they had snapped in half! Not having the cash, I used solid mounts from a 98 forester.

I've also heard that the group "n" mounts last about 5 years, as in they lose their stiffness, and function like normal used mounts afterwards. This coming from Nasioc from a couple sources.

I really hope they don't loose there stiffness that fast

Me too. They cost a lot of $$$.

No kidding, but then again its not like rally cars last 5 years hahaha so they probably didn't design them for longevity!!!!

They don't lose their stiffness. That's a bunch of nasioc bs.

Well I got the engine and pitch stop mounts in as of this weekend, and have driven about a hundred miles on them. So far i think there a big improvement, I still have a week transmission mount though, but I will have that one in as soon as I do my AWD swap! All in all though the noise isn't that bad and everything feels a lot tighter, I think these are a worth while investment.

I didn't notice a difference from the stock fwd mounts myself when I swapped in my turbo engine. The turbo also had the crappy gel filled ones that were blown out.

Dang! really? I felt a difference and my mounts weren't all the way bad. I had a few cracks in mine but if you had the gel filled ones that were blown, and you replaced them with group N mounts I would think you should have felt a massive difference! Thats very Interesting!

Got me a set, too! It's gonna be a while before my SS runs as I have 2 other cars needing my attention first
