CLS6MT XLR8 64A motor mounts durability

Hey guys, I'm ordering XLR8 64A Motor mounts.
Just want know for those of you who has had then for a long time, how are they, and any problems at high miles?
Yes, I've did research, but have only come across reviews when they are new, but no reviews of when they reach high mileage. Like 10k miles and over.

Id go with 75A. Heel Toe sells mount inserts they claim to be better also.

My set of 75A has about 5k street miles, 20 autocrosses, and a few track days on them and still fine. Don't think anyone else on here puts their car through the abuse my car sees.

Still, even stock mounts should survive what you've put on those without a problem.

negative.
look at the way the stock ones are designed.
then look at the way the XLR8's are designed.

one design allows play and the other, XLR8 doesnt allow any play at all.

Saying stock will or will not survive is just guessing. One thing for sure is the car performs and handles much better with aftermarket mounts. My engine doesn't move at all. With stock mounts the engine moves quite a bit and would be banging against my strut bar.

Another thing is that stock mounts don't last nearly as long as they should. Even ppl that don't drive aggressive ever have replaced stock mounts before 100K miles.

^because of the way the stock ones are designed and how they mount to the car.

if you take a look at other manufactures, they implement stronger designed mounts on their weakest cars. chevy as an example...

I believe the civic SI mounts are designed better than these stock CL ones.

It makes sense the Si mounts would be a bit stiffer, as the car in general is marketed as a sportier ride. Either way, aftermarket mounts are the way to go to reduce engine movement.

Our mounts are affordable, in stock, and strong!

Thanks for the replies guys!
Thanks brian, for giving feedback on your 75A. I'm glad they lasted.
I've decided to order the 62A motor mounts due to vibration everyone talks about.
I daily my car and of course punch on it every once in a while, so 62A should do it for me.
I just really want mounts that can handle the V6 and some abuse when I need it.
And it seems XLR8 is the way to go!
Thanks everyone!

I'm also glad an XLR8 REP chimed in. Just goes to say, we will get the support we need.
