To be honest I'd use standard engine mounts as they seem to last the longest.

Has anyone ever had a top mout go? I've certainly never heard of it in 6 years of RST ownership!

Standard is the way to go!

What kind of strut brace and what kind of inlet? [Is it EFi?]

Its probably your gearbox mounts that have gone rather than the engine mount if you're using the standard inlet.

Ah right, I'd still change your gearbox mounts first.....unless you've already changed them?

It should fit front or rear [the standard ones do anyway]....depends which bush is knackered as to where to fit it.

You could always pick up a pair of good second hand ones brom a breakers on here.

I'd do it quickly as the next thing to go will be your exhaust downpipe!
