Do your mounts come with new hardware or just recycle existing bolts? Best practice to replace all the following?

Shouldn't need to replace them, those bolts are entirely oversized and the torque specs on them are not that high.

Nice thanks. You got specs?

Nope, just recalling my experience with the E55.

As mentioned they do not need to be replaced. You could even replace the mount without removing the bolts with the yellow arrows if you wanted to

My E55 took me about 2 hours, not rushing anything. FYI, for others reading.

E55 and several 928s
Anyone else installed these? And driven the car in all conditions?

Yes.

I've had them in the car for about 33,000km now. Lots of hard driving including 14 consecutive passes at the drag strip.

Engine stays very well in its place, and the ride is still very comfortable. 10/10

Built 2008 G55 & one big 80 Series LandCruiser !
I've had mine for maybe 2-3k - very impressed, albeit with more motor "feel" and vibration carrying thru. but it does provide a tighter feeling acceleration feel.

Can anyone who's had these installed by a shop provide the range charged for labor?

Where are you located? We might have a recommended shop in your area. Labor should be the same as replacing factory mounts.

North Bay Area, CA. So Napa, Sonoma, Marin. I just heard back from a shop I used once and liked...$660! 6 hours?

We don't have a shop in that area. Have you tried Wennersten Autowerks in Santa Rosa? In SoCal we recommend Star Motor Werks. 6 hours is a bit excessive. I would look elsewhere.

Whoa! $600+?! I would have to look back but I think I paid like $350 in labor to throw new factory mounts in (sorry, ECE, these weren't released back in Oct '16).

Yep pretty routine story here in NorCal. Everything is expensive. But, I checked in with a more mod friendly shop and got the quote down to $540. They are just both going off the Book at like 5+ hours...
I explained how there was this DIY blah blah blah and he said he agreed he didn’t think it would take that long.

The install took me just under 3 hours at a very relaxed pace, but with the
proper engine mount tool proper engine mount tool
. Without it, getting to the top bolt on the engine mount is going to be difficult

Invoice from MB Dealership in California showed 2.6 hrs on a friend's car with headers - more cramped and hence more time intensive

Anyone who needs the tool (unless I don't like you), I'm happy to send my tool around if you pay postage and promise to send it back.

Question about overall “lowering” effect. I saw Jim said about 6mm lower after install, which means everything is lower that hangs off the engine. Maybe a stupid question but I just got done installing the Ultra Racing cross brace and for whatever reason on the right side it makes the tiniest little kiss on the cat which is a stock cat, no headers. I’m going to see if it’s driveable
as such. Cold start transmitting all vibrations from cat to cross bar and to chassis like a tuning fork. Is it safe to assume that if I add the mounts, this is will exacerbate the clearance issue to the cross brace? Thanks. Just wanting to understand how mods may impact each other.

Cheers.
