So guys I was one of the 80% with a least one blown mount ... however these mounts are awesome so far haven’t had a chance to really get on it with all the wet roads and all but I’ll be back in a few days to make an official review ...one thing I can note is I really don’t feel any nvm at idle

No way to not remove the subframe for install.
Granted I am a professional, but it took me 70 minutes replacing the motor mounts and my harmonic balancer. 2.5 hours is a reasonable charge for it.

Installed these over the weekend, another great product from RR Racing, they are extremely well crafted.
I was experiencing a clunking noise on occasion while accelerating and had an excessive amount of movement from the engine when reving and holding the brake. My driver side mount was completely loose and causing the problems. Looking at the design of the oe mounts its no wonder one was broken,
I suspect many isf owners have loose mounts and would benefit from upgrading them.
As their video shows the new mounts eliminate virtually any movement and I do not notice any increase in nvh while idling or driving, just for an instant during engine start and shut down.
Update: now that I have torqued the lower bolt to 123ftlbs there is a slight vibration at idle, still none while driving.
An added bonus for me is the throttle response is better and shifting is more direct without the excessive movement in the engine.
Question for RR Racing, what is the torque spec for the bottom mount bolt to the sub frame?

So I purchased the RR-Racing Power upgrade kit (headers/intake/tune) with mounts.
My question is, is there any "customizing" to the engine mount bracket assemblies like other headers require for clearance?
do i need anything from the old mounts (rubber boot cover that sits on top of the mount)?
Or is the PPE headers/RR-racing mount combo straight bolt on?
