IM Motor Mounts
The one and only mod to the TL that I regret. I'm stuck selling them with the car (sold car). For future reference, how the heck are others replacing them with the OEM motor mounts? I accidentally pulled the vacuum hose from the bottom of all three mounts when I was taking the OEM ones out. What else can you do? You HAVE to pull those vacs free, don't you? I can't imagine the fix will be cheap going back to stock...

Huh? Dude I've put stock mounts back on numerous times
Unless you pulled the vac lines all the way up you can just stick them to the bottom of the oem mounts
Motormounts don't take more than an hour to do

yeah he's talking about Innovative Mounts
listen them hoses is for idle so you get less vib during idle... doesn't really matter... the only time I've installed stock mounts was on cars I installed the IM so I left the hoses there and zip tied them away from anything...
but when you really think of it... the IM didn't have em plugged in to the bottom, so what exactly does the hose do... doesn't matter much

to my knowledge they were supposed to left alone not blocked.....if they become blocked the solenoid registers the mounts as broken. at least thats what the service manual says.

Xiomaro -
If you can wait, hold off until we see what XLR8 is going to offer. XLR8 will be offering a new design mount made by a different company.
If you need the mounts sooner, get the 75A if you can endure the vibration at idle.
Regarding the 60A.... If your are 5AT, the 60A would last for a while before donut'ing. If you are 6MT, don't waste your time with the 60A.

Forgot to add....
The 75A might donut too after a while. My 75A appear to be good without any donut'ing. I have not removed them for inspection, but glancing at them while I am under the car and I see no obvious signs of donut'ing. BTW, I am 5AT.
Tripnbeats has the 85A and said that the 85A is only slightly stiffer than the 60A. So if you are daring, maybe try the 85A.
