From the looks of your sig you may be too. LoL I'm not sure how much they are since I haven't looked to see which of mine is broken. I'm sure one of them is though.

From what I've seen the front and rear ones are the ones most likely to go. Makes sense, because those are the ones which absorb most of the force due to their location due to the transverse engine mounting.
I've broken every mount except the driver's side. The passenger’s side was the worst failure, my sister was driving my car, and she got nervous and accidentally dropped the clutch while trying to start moving uphill at a stoplight causing the bracket that bolts to the head to crack in half. It was a spectacular failure to say the least, she seems to be able to "launch" the car better than I can. That happened about a month ago.

I have broken 3 rear braces, NOT the mount itself. If you have never looked back there, there is a brace that goes from the transaxle to the rear mount that is located on the crossmember.
The brace in each case has broken along the bolt holes where it mounts to the transaxle.
To remedy this, a friend of mine made a 1/4" thick replica fool of the brace and welded it to the brace. It hasnt broken since. BTW they are EXPENSIVE from the dealer, and I get a discount from my parts guy there.
I have also broken 2 drivers mounts that are located under the battery tray.

Well something I didn't mention was the trans in mycar now was installed by a local shop. I didn't have the time to do it then so I had them do it. The car seemed MUCH more prone to wheel hop after I got it back and I strongly expect that they broke one of the mounts putting in the new trans. So anyone ever broke a mount remopving and or installing their trans?
BTW CarbonfiberRST I was joking. I know you know this but I just wanted to make sure.

My drivers side mount just broke today, it is shattered in pieces. Dont know how the hell it got like that, but it did. My rear mount bolts were loose so i think that may have had something to do with it when ever i take off it just out more stress on the trans side mount. Oh well, have to see if i have a lifetime warranty since i bought this from napa. I tried to drive very slow home which about 3 minutes away from where i was and my my drivers side mount collapsed and my axle snapped i guess due to the stress from the tranny. I have the worst luck with this car.I will be installing both things on wednesday so i can have my car up and running again.
