Default which mount kit?

My passenger side mount just took a dump on me. I can either get an oem replacement for $142 or spend a little more and get a complete mount kit. So my major options are hasport, innovative, and drop engineering. Keep in mind this will be my daily driver with no plans beyond basic bolt ons so I don't want something that will rattle my teeth out.

There's a guy on this forum selling just the passenger side mount made by Avid racing, you should pick that up.

The Avid racing mount is better than the Innovative because it changes the OEM design.

Yea but just one mount? The way I see it is how long before the other mounts take a crap. Might as well do them all at the same time.

Well like you said, its a daily driver and you don't want that vibration feeling, even the softest aftermarket mounts (62a), will vibrate enough to be a little annoying. But if you get JUST the passenger Avid mount, you won't feel the vibrating. Also I love the Avid style mount, the OEM one looks retarded in my opinion.

How many miles on the car?

From my experience, the only mount that seems to really take a beating is the front one. So I wouldn't worry about the others as much.

Note: Driver side mount was not fun to install at all. There is almost absolutely no room to fit even my finger to thread on the bolt.
