KEIN Engine Mounts Subaru WRX 02-14 / STI 04-21 / Legacy GT 05-09 / Forester XT 04-13 | KSUB001

Amazing!

Make sure to get the OEM motor mount brackets. Lots of noise and vibration, would try a putting a rubber pad no greater than an eighth of an inch like the kind you’d put on a skateboard to raise the trucks and dampen landings between the mounts, engine and brackets, if I was committed to using them. The mounts in combination with the Kein pitch stop, though any stiffer pitch stop than OEM would do, helped provide a noticeable decrease in slop while accelerating.

I purchased these engine mounts because my Group-Ns were shot. Im very pleased with these KEIN mounts.

I installed these on my ej205 swapped 2.5 RS. To be fair, I also installed the torque solutions 5mt trans mount at the same time. But let me tell you, HUGE difference. You feel every heartbeat of the motor when running. It'll solve any wheel hop you have while launching, but at the cost of a "smooth" ride. Your car will now "feel like how your exhaust sounds". Take that how you want it. My kids love it, but I'm glad it is not my only vehicle because it would probably get old over time. And hey, maybe they'll break in or something. But as of now, I have about 300 miles on them.

I was a bit worried about these since they were less expensive than other motor mounts I was considering for my 2018 Subaru WRX STI but they did not disappoint. These made a significant difference in driver feedback, being able to better feel the car, the rpms, and the loads being placed on the engine. Stiffer motor mounts will always increase some vibrations, so be ready for that. For me, I like the increased vibrations, it's not like overly powerful for mind numbing. These have made a positive impact on my build and have held up nicely so far. Install was kind of a pain but worth it. Little hands and/or a flexible ratchet shaft help a ton so maybe buy one of those before you dive into this install, or you will end up having to buy one halfway through the install anyways like I did. =)

Installed on a legacy gt 06. My stock mounts were shot. These are making a huge difference. More NVH. Can really feel the vibrations on start up and at very low rpms. Noise is a bit louder as well but not bad. Fixed my clutch shudder at takeoff as well. Good product and would buy again. Maybe not recommended if you want to keep the comfort and lower noise levels that legacy’s are known for.

Tops shelf product! Took a chance on these mounts as their wasn’t many reviews floating around online but I couldn’t be happier. The craftsmanship is as solid as the mount is. Thanks Image Import 🤙🏻
