Motor Mounts/Tranny Mounts

Just ordered mine from AWD Motorsports. Anything I should watch out for while doing the swap? It looks pretty straight forward. How you folks like the stiffer mounts?

Make sure you torque the engine mount correctly (do a search); I know people had torqued too tight and snapped the small bolts.

Which mounts did you go with? Wevo told me to use the stock torque specs for the motor mounts, what ever that is, my tech installed them.

I went with the 964RS kit from Suncoast. I just have a thing for stock parts (even from a different year) causing less issues down the line. Install is a breeze. A great DYI with great results.
