Innovative Motor Mounts ?

I'm looking into getting the Innovative Mounts for my Acura 3.2cl-s, I 've read mixed reviews, I know that the OEM ones are garbage and last only 2 years, what should I do , I don't want to change them anymore and Innovative offers a lifetime warranty, anybody have any ideas or have tried them , like them or recommend them let me know I have to change my Motor mount very fast...
thanks
I found this site selling them for 310.00 $

I never had the innovative mounts, but they have issues and ppl had to remove them. I think some ppl are still running the side etc but not all 3.
XLR8 is supposedly gonna come out with mounts soon they are in testing phase now. Here is the thread https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=735396&page=7

this is the newer one https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-2001-2003-50/motor-mount-thread-771386/

basically you can wait for these mounts or do the poly filling the stock mount routine.

AVOID THEM! Worse mod I have ever done on the car. They were great for about 2 months then all went to hell as they deteriorated and the car was shaking like Michael J Fox from all the vibrations.

Wait for XLR8 or poly fill your own if you can't wait a few months! Innovative will fail for sure.

Your best option is to either poly fill your own like many members have said or Oem but you will just be wasting money on Innovative mounts because they don't even last as long as the Oem mounts.

Has anyone had any experience with 75a, 85a, or 95a. They list 75a as the standard bushing for these mounts now. I thought I read somewhere that someone got the stiffer ones and didn't have any problems? . . .

do yourself a favor and steer clear of innovative. don't support them because they screwed all of us over. they won't admit that there's a problem w/the mounts.

Here's some pics of the base Red and the hard Blacks to help you out. The harder blacks (not sure anymore whether they were 85a or 95a) lasted 2 months before they went.

This is the one . . . although I heard this isn't a guaranteed long term fix either.

Yea, the poly-filled mounts is nice but they wont last forever. I already went through a rear and passenger side mount, and when I replaced my axles I realized I need to replace the tranny mounts too
