Motor mounts are important especially on the older Lancers. Almost every car that is 2+ years old has a broken mount in it and needs repalcing too. Our mounts will last twice as long as the OEMs for sure plus it cuts down on wheel hop etc...

HAng in there. It will be worth it. Especially on the 2+ year older cars, we see stock mounts dying all the time. They don't last as long as people hope they would.

now there's a member saying his DIY rear mount gave out. talk about a monster engine hopefully his second try will yield better results. There aren't any tips, aside from your carbon fiber reinforcement, you could give to someone trying to make their own, is there Rob?
I haven't actually looked, but from the feel of the car I can only assume mine are holding up just fine. I will be sure to take a close look next time I am under the car though. I'd be surprised to find any damage/wear though, I don't pop the clutch and I'm not turbo.

i finished installing them today at my shop and wow talk about a PITA to get to some of those bolts in the rear im lucky as hell to have small hands and fingers cause it was tough. but let me tell you i can feel the difference and i really think they help to gain back a lot of that lost torque when coming off the line and engaging each gear under high load. all i need now is to figure out what the problem is thats causing my rpms to drop , the car not being able to find second right away , and a new set of tires and i should be good to go
oh and ill have the clutch line in tomorrow soo ill give my review on that when i get home from work
RRM's the sh*t!! lol

When I took mine out they were almost brand new
even my friend Ryan's '01 Civic with almost no TQ or HP eats engine mounts with his aftermarket clutch and driving style. IIRC he has inserts in right now, but I'd imagine they are looking pretty poor by now
