I don't see why you wouldn't. It's the easiest mount to replace...

Edited because I'm an idiot.

Thought you were talking about tranny mount, not diff mounts. NVM>

I went with the 75A (black).

Bit of a bitch to get on by yourself, but doable. I haven't had a chance to drive the car since installing them, so I can't give you a solid review however I can assure you the mounts are more solid than the stockers

BTW, I've seen that the 60A (red) bushings deform. There's a thread somewhere in these very forums that discuss it (apparently it's an issue Innovative knows about). I'd recommend going with the stiffer bushing (75A) to be on the safe side, YMMV.

Take a torch and get the car on the hoist, if 1 of the 4 or more of the differential mounts are broken, replace them. The differential mounts are quite soft and are easy to break.
