Are there any uprated ones available or am I better off fabricating my own? (STi is too damn expensive )

From MRT they're not too bad (when do you need them?). Maybe Powerflex do them now too?

Graham Goode sell uprated ones. I havent seeen the engine mountings, but I have seen the uprated gearbox mounting, and it is substantially stronger than the standard item. I dont think it was that expensive? It may be the MRT items, but it will be about 50 times quicker buying from GGR than it will from MRT.
Take a look at their website, as it gives pretty good coverage of all mountings/bushes available, including rear beam/diff mountings.
The rear beam does seem to be slightly different for a legacy tho around the diff mounting. Nest to check what you need, and measure before buying

David, it's the Prodrive mounts that are £4-500 a pair.

Otherwise the Sti ones are more like £60 IIRC.

Just fitted the gearbox mount to mine - noticeable difference. Engine mounts will have to wait...looks a harder job

Thumbs up

Engine mounts weren't too bad...more fiddly than difficult.
A lift is almost a must. And an extra jack for the engine.
