I spent this afternoon putting mine on. The molded stock mounts have some slag in them so that needs to be cleaned out, otherwise the inserts don't seat completely and are too wide. They were not melted as was described in a previous post, they might have mistaken the rubber slag for melting.

The width is very tight so apply some WD-40 when you put it back in. I also used it when I put the slugs into the stock mounts.

The front mount has 2 bolts that go into the engine and they are a bit challenging. I wound up using a socket with a universal knuckle. The bottom one fed through from the front and top one fed through from the front also. Some of the oil lines and hoses were in the way but they may not be on the stock engine, I have the ForcedFed turbo so there is lots of extra plumbing. Putting the bolts back in is even more fun. The mount is so tight that it is hard to make finite adjustments to it to get the bolt holes perfectly lined up. Use lots of soap or WD-40 and don't spring the bracket to make it fit. The large through bolt should go in last.

The rear mount was a little longer process for my car as I have the Sector111 RTD brace as well as the ForcedFed engine damper. The easiest way to do this is to back the 2 bolts off of the frame that hold the RTD to it ( this was not in the instructions ). This allows you to move it back far enough so that the mount clears the bracket when you go to lift it out. Also back the bolt off or take it off completely for the engine damper. It puts the plates in bind at makes it difficult to line up the bolts on the re-install.

The fun part with re-installing the rear mount with the RTD and the engine damper is lining all the holes up. The front two are "blind" but the back two can be seen from underneath.

I used an automotive pry bar for both mounts to take them out and put them back in, The extra leverage really helped as the engine does drop about 1/2" once a mount is removed.

Use care on re-installing all the bolts as it is steel into soft metal.

I'll post some feedback tomorrow night as I plan on doing laps tomorrow afternoon.
