Engine mount suggestions
Any suggestions for replacement rx8 engine mounts? Still have the OEM ones, but they are badly in need of replacement.

their lifespan is quite wide, i have about that many miles on our original mounts without any issues. then on others i have seen them fail at 65k and others make it to 150k.

Mine outlived three engines and lasted 140,000 miles before I filled them with urethane.

Changed my right side mount at around 80,000 miles. Currently the car has 88,000 miles and the driver's side still seems to hold ok.
