Creative Steel motor mount

Need to replace motor mounts on my 12 coupe.
Anyone have any experience with the "NEW" CREATIVE STEEL mounts?

Thanks for the feedback.

I have CS mounts from about a year ago installed, they work well in my opinion. Not sure about a "NEW" revision though?

Mine have been in for a few years now, no issues. What does the new revision comprise of?

The Elimivibe

The pictures that I have seen appear that the mount still has the upper stud molded into a rubber isolator.
Just not the liquid filled OEM configuration.

Thanks for the feedback.

They look better than their last ones IMO.

@SecondhandV - Let us know your thoughts on these.

So do the CS mounts require pulling the motor? I have Adam's and 2 guys were telling me they would have to pull.

Not necessarily....I've done mine by removing manifolds and a few other things to get to them. Then use a jack/jackstand to hold the engine up.

It’s probably going to be a while until my car is back on the road. I’ll update when it is though.

I don’t think the installation process for these would be much different than other mounts. It all comes down to how you want to access that top fastener. I am pulling my engine for other work so I thought it would be a good time to replace my 12 year old motor mounts.

You definitely don’t have to pull the motor to install my mounts.

Not saying it’s an easy install…it’s a tight ass space. Removing manifolds would certainly make it easier.

You don’t have to pull the motor, you don’t have to pull the manifolds or starter, just the steering shaft for the CS mounts. I did mine on a lift with 2 pole jacks, took a couple hours but not too bad.

I have everything in front of the MOTOR removed---cooling system etc. Had a minor fender bender and had to replace the RAD core support. I have not reinstalled it yet so I have plenty of access to the FRONT of the engine. I even plan on removing the AC compressor to have more room to the passenger side mount. No hurry--not my DD. Been on the back burner for a couple of years---ready to get my hand greasy again.

Thanks for the info.

They're ALM where the mounts themselves have female thread and not studs like the factory one. So if you can get the factory mounts out, these will clear easily.

I have the red CS mounts for 3 years

car run smooth and big difference in terms of performance and pleasure of driving.

You guys run solid mounts on the street? That's impressive.

Does anyone have any additional feedback on this new design? I have the old design in the street config, but the motor is about to go in, and if the new design is significantly better, I would like to upgrade while the motor is out.

Adam, are you planning another production run on your mounts? I’d pay you a little more for a one off…
