I did but did not add it. I really did not like the look of it honestly.

Winter has finally decided to settle down and melt most of that nasty white stuff.
Brakes started sticking pretty badly in the front just before I went on vacation, today I was able to take a look.. not exactly what I was expecting to find

3 Canadian winters was to much for the shims on the stoptechs, which caused pads to wear unevenly.

Tossed on spare OEM pads all around and ordered hawk HPS 5.0. Could not resist swapping on summer setup, weather looks like it should hold out.

Placed an order via Blackhawkjapan. Haven't decided whether I want to tackle the engine mounts on stands or pay a shop to do it. Trans mount is simple enough.

I just installed all these. Was a nice upgrade as for install I paid 200euro for my local Toyota dealer to do them. Mostly cause I didn't want to remove my header lol. Trans was simple enough I didn't even remove the front pipe

I saw a tutorial that would allow me to keep the JDL header on but it looks like would be a PITA on Jack stands

.
Did you notice an improvement in how smooth the driveline feels?

Ah you have JDL header I am stock so it has to come out lol.

I wrote a small review about them in my build thread but short answer is yes. Was happy I spent the money to get mounts.

Definitely one of those mods that are a true upgrade

Are the engine mounts the same as the STI, just branded differently?

Looking forward to that before/after first drive. Noticing more slop in the drivetrain lately, could just be me i guess it'll never feel as tight as the day I bought it unless I replace all the rubber

From my understanding yes, but cannot confirm 100%. Read somewhere that they're stamped Subaru parts. I will take some detailed photos once I have them in my hands.

I can tell you now that the stock motor mounts in my toyota say subaru on them lol. I would be shocked if toyota made the TRD ones

Having called around for various parts over the years I've noticed Toyota will slap their own sticker on a Subaru package/box then charge 10--30% less than Subaru for the same parts

Little bit of spring maintenance and cleaning.
Changed oil, quick engine bay wash, then listed my old wheels for sale. Already pending sale to local twin owner.
