When I pulled my stock motor out to put in the built motor, both of mine were broken. 83K on stock ones. I went with the Innovative 65's (bc so many people hated the 85's) and love them. It comes with both engine mounts and the tranny mount. Made shifting a lot smoother. I too have the CC4 clutch and it does make it a little more chattery on take offs, but still love them. No probs with turbo rubbing and no shake down in the interior like the 85's cause.
its the only thing holding me back from putting them in is if this will happen.
lemme know.

I debated long and hard about using these after I read the Spectacle's thread on his Innovative 85's. I have been using these for about 2000 miles now and no real difference in shaking from my two broken stock mounts. They do cause a little more clutch buzz on decel, but that could also be the CC4 I put in at same time as motor mounts. I have not been disappointed yet. Even with top up and radio and AC on, I do not notice any difference. Interior is as quiet (as can be expected in a raw car like ours) as before. No new rattles. I recommend them. Really tightened up everything....
Just make sure you are using a flex pipe on your turbo setup...

I just put a new stock mount in but if it brakes again I'm going to be looking for a different option.

Sorry, they are actually the 60A's. Red inserts. Here on Innovative's site.

I wonder if the Innovative 60A mounts will cause a lot more vibration that could cause the manifolds to prematuraly crack sooner? How easy are these mounts to put on? Do you have to pull a lot of turbo parts to get them in or can you go from under the car while its on a lift and install them?

after doing some reading, i felt that the 60a would not be up to turbo S2000 with alot of torque hence why i went with the 75a
they are fairly easy to fit, however two person job as there is no flex in them and i needed some help moving and wiggling the block to get them to slot in place
i did not remove and turbo parts, my screamer pipe and downpipe and steering colum all come down the same side and no probs at all
the gearbox mount is simple and awesome, stops all vibration through the shifter

I am supercharged and my stock mounts broke at around 60k around 20k SC miles. I installed the innovative 60A mounts and noticed deformation in the poly after about 6 months of light driving, I switched over to the 75A and just paid for shipping from innovative. The 75A is tolerable but definitely a bit more vibration then the 60A and stock.

So, the Innovative mounts come in 60A, 75A and 85A? Is there a 65A or 70A? Maybe that would be more suitable for boosted application being that they would be stiffer than the 60A but not so aggressive that it would cause a lot of vibrations. I'm concerned with the added vibrations of the 75A mounts causing the manifold to crack a lot easier. Do you guys think this would happen?
