Man am I upset with my Innovative Mounts (billet 60a).
I've been chasing what I thought was a suspension issue, turns out the soft polyurethane has failed. The center collars in each of the mounts has way ovaled out the poly and actually lowered the engine by an inch.
These mounts are about 2.5 yrs old and have only seen daily street abuse.
Has anyone experianced this failure on any other mounts?
Pics tonight.

Yep, I just spoke to them and it was no problem....other than having to dismantle my car.
Going up to the 75a in hopes they will hold up better.

They said with the 60a they see this happen, but almost never see the 75a come back on waranty.
May use this down time to shave the bay and do what I'm calling an "un-tuck". I'm going to get some spools of the same Raychem braided chemical/heat resistant wire sleeving Rywire and others use on their tuck harnesses... except, I'm not altering my harness, just rewraping it all as Honda delivered it.
Sidenote...My new Innovative axles were installed 4-6mo. ago. The driver side boot is already ripped as well. Although this might be related to the mounts causing the engine to vibrate/move. Not sure. Just gonna replace the boot.

Mounts went out tuesday to get the new 75a bushings installed.
They are just going to Placentia, Ca....I'm here in NorCal, so hopefully it won't be long.
