the side motor mount from street unit just looks so durable and well engineered..vs the hard race one which is an oem replacement just modified..the oem style mount allows the motor to move vertically..basically if your looking in front of your engine..the engine jerks away from you and towards you...i can tell that the street unit mount will not do this..but id like anybodys review on the mount itself who has used it or has it on their car now..please let me know if its worth my money..i want a new motor mount, just being smart and getting a good review on the mount before i spend any money..please let me know. Thanks guys !

WNCMazda3..how long did it take for your SU mounts to break in ? i just installed mine today..its a very easy job swapping the mounts..my god are those things deisel big..i wasnt expecting to get these humongous metal mounts lol. but i like them a lot...right now i only have 25 miles on them..the vibes are pretty intense...but the worst is already over..anyway SU claims 500-1000 miles is the break in period..about how long did it take for your to break them in ? and what does it feel like after they are broken in ? do u still get the whine from the trans side ? does the interior vibrate like they werre when just installed ?

ahh i see...yes same here with the rpms..i just keep them a lil higher and id never even know i put solid mounts in...the low rpms make it vibrate a lot...anyway i dont even hear the whine when im listening to music...sounds like a goddamn supercharger sometimes hahaha..but all in all, i love the mounts..and i noticed how flush the passenger mount is with the engine like u said...id buy these mounts twice if i needed to. theyre really great..anyway imma be taken some roadtrips this weekend so we'll see how the breaking in goes. thanks again for ur input

took some pics of the mounts...i should have took the pics while i was doing the job itself but i wasnt thinking of it..so here are pics of the mounts installed on the car...and of course the old mounts which were FUCKED. the driver side was ok but i did notice some rips and tares...however the passenger side was completely seperated from each other and i have never known...the only thing keep them together was the fact that where it seperated did not allow the top portion to come out..
