Got the OE WRX engine mounts out today. They were both farked. LHS was old and crappy, and the mounts were very soft, way past their used by date.

RHS was torn and fell apart when it came out. Platinum's slipped the Group N's in and did a service.

As soon as I got back in and started the motor I could tell immediately the difference! Hard to explain, but the engine wobble and associated slack is gone entirely. On and off throttle feels 100% better too.

NVH is very marginal from this change, but not tried that with the rotational idle running yet, which i suspect would be quite full on as it was so with the broken mounts (that probably helped to break them)

Highly recommended.
