Engine mounts
Well since the engine has to be taken out the car i was thinking that it would be a good idea to upgrade engine and gearbox mounts.
Suggestions of types? i hear the choice is really between cusco and sti grp N mounts.. Anyone got prices of them and places to get them abroad and within australia..

Cusco would be better than the "factory" STi engine mounts I believe.
Group N cheap price https://www.upscaleautomotive.com/p-...x-amp-sti.aspx Cusco http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/c...05-p-1920.html

I have the subaru "safari" mounts, they are much stronger than the group n mounts, not the best for nvh though. They are fairly expensive compared to the group n mounts, if I remember correctly it was about $7-750 for the engine mounts and brackets (landed from japan parts)
but why stop with the engine mounts? + the sti heavy duty transmision mount + plus the heavy duty cushion rubbers that go between the various parts of the transmission crossmember + the heavy duty rubber that supports the gear change lever assembly (where it mounts to the underside of the tunnel) + the pitching rod + the rear crossmember mounts + the rear diff mount + + + It gets out of control, you think well ok I've changed the engines mounts and ... so I really should do this and that too and blah, blah, blah... before you know it you have spent well over $1k closer to $2k, just on mounts and bushes. but I don't need to tell you how it goes.

Do you have any spare mounts in your collection?? All i was looking at doing was the main gearbox mount, pitch mount and gearbox mounts on either side.. It does get out of hand but i dont think its neccessary to go to that extent..
