We installed them here, they are a stronger motor mount, seems to be recommended.

Are those 1" x 4" steel panels? I got those with my X74. Where are they supposed to go?

the motor mounts actually are functional and stablise the vehicle during high performance driving. From what I've heard from the more engineering types the mounts play an integral role in improving the car's handling.
