Innovative 05-12 Lotus ELISE/EXIGE 2ZZ Black Steel Mounts 75A Bushings

If you're looking to firm up the feel of your 2005-2012 Lotus Elise or Exige, especially those with the 2ZZ engine, replacing worn-out engine mounts is a smart move. These mounts from Innovative Mounts are built with black steel and feature 75A durometer bushings, which are a good step up from stock for improved engine stability without being overly harsh.

The 75A durometer rating means these bushings offer a solid balance. They're stiff enough to significantly reduce engine movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering, giving you a more connected feel to the road and making it easier to place the car precisely. This improved stability can be particularly noticeable when you're pushing the car hard. The steel construction ensures these mounts are well-built and ready to handle the demands of spirited driving.

When installing these, you'll want to be prepared for a more direct transfer of engine vibrations into the cabin compared to stock rubber mounts. This is a common trade-off for the improved performance and handling feel they provide. Make sure you have the necessary tools and support for the engine during installation.
