Using this engine mount kit is a great way to enhance your 2005 - 2012 Lotus Elise/Exige's performance. First, make sure this kit is the right fit for your vehicle. You can check if it's suitable for your specific engine type. If you're using a K24 engine, don't forget to get the CR - V P2R bracket. It's really important to have a mechanic or automotive specialist do the installation. Once the mounts are bolted down, they can't be returned or swapped, so double - check the fit. When driving, you may notice a bit of vibration, but that's normal as these mounts are made for performance. They'll reduce wheel hop and make your driving more responsive. As for maintenance, there's not much to do thanks to the high - quality design. But keep an eye on the mounts over time. If you notice any unusual noises or issues, it's a good idea to have them checked by a professional.
