I bought just the bracket from him. Mounts under the fuse box.

..... and will likely be for sale shortly.


Thank you everyone. I have ordered a set of Innovative billet aluminum motor mounts with 95A bushings.

I managed to find my old scabby generic damper kit I used when supercharged and put it on last night. Its all steel mounts that weight 2.3lb together with damper, so not quite as bad as I thought, but still would prefer a light aluminum bracket that goes over the shock tower. The other end is just a small L bracket basically that bolts to the head, unlike that huge plate that mounts to the front of the head ive seen, which surely adds more weight if its steel. I don't run the heat shield divider.

................. and according to my supplier ................ they're backorderd.

Calling Innovative later today when they open to confirm.

edit:

"Backordered" was bull sh!t. All mounts are built to order.

Discount code of 110 will get you 10% off at Innovative's website.

Finally got my motor mounts, right before I left for Pitt Race on Thursday. Awesome, I'll install them at the track.

Nope. Missing hardware. Lies, lies and not a complete solution when you have to source your own hardware.

Maia from Innovative: You got everything you need, reuse your OEM hardware.

Me: Sure, for the motor side but what about the frame side?

One of my stock motor mounts was completely blown when I replaced them. Shifting was definitely more precise after the upgrade.

I hear you on that. This is my AP2 at ~73k miles, my AP1 looked just the same at ~68k miles.

Both were replaced with Megan Racing motor and transmission mounts. Nothing but good things to say about them after many years of street and autocross. They are buzzy at the beginning but will mellow after ~200 miles.
