Description
We've long shied away from polyurethane motor mounts as they typically increase the NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) quite a bit - okay for a track-only car, but not great for anything that sees street use. We discovered the Innovative mounts a while ago, and after many miles in our cars, we're impressed. They do increase the NVH a bit over stock (roughly equivalent to the Mazda Comp mounts), but for most it's an acceptable increase. If you have a naturally aspirated car that you want to be as friendly as possible, stick with the OE mounts. If you have a turbo car that sees track and street duty, these are a great option. These mounts use 60A durometer polyurethane, which is the softest they offer. They do a great job holding the drivetrain in place while transmitting as little NVH as possible, so we don't see a reason for anything more. They worked great on our ~400 whp turbo '95.
They're more than just mounts, though. Want a lower center of gravity? No problem, just use the lower mounting point to drop the engine 3/8" from stock. As much ground clearance as possible? Sure, use the high mounting point to bring it up 3/8" from stock (no hood trimming required). Prefer to leave it as Mazda intended? Of course, just use the middle mounting point. All built in to the standard mount.
But wait, there's more! These are the last mounts you'll need - they have a lifetime warranty. That applies to both the metal structure and the poly pucks.
Includes everything between the subframe and chassis, you won't reuse your rubber mounts (of course) or the brackets that bolt to your engine. This is a pair, one kit = one car.
Please note that you must match your engine, not your chassis. E.g., a 90-93 chassis with a 94-97 engine will use the 94-97 engine mount pair.

Initially had some fitment issues, and had to return the initial purchase, but I got the proper one and it went on without problem
I've had the 60A NB2 mounts installed in my 01 for about 2100 miles. There was a lot of vibration for the first ~700 miles but after that they settled down a lot and aren't too harsh. I previously had mazdaspeed (not mazda comp) mounts that wore out and got sloppy in about 15k miles over 2 years. Now with these innovative mounts, the car feels much more responsive and I no longer miss 3rd gear at autocross with my 6 speed. These were money well spent and should last much longer!
