Broken engine mount

I'm a Swine... after 12,000 km thats.... 7,500 miles the rear engine mount looked like this...

I fount this place awr racing, but they dont make the one i need, they sell these

is this a much more bigger than it looks on the picture and is a replacement for these part or does this one goes elsewere, just have the same name "rear engine mount"

yikes I thought that only happened to the Mazdaspeed3 (and the transmission mount, not the rear one)

On that AWR mount, the red part is about 2.5-3 inches wide, for the sake of reference. It would be good if they had a ruler or somethin in the pictures, eh?

Any Mazda3 dudes care to chime in as to whether the 2.0 and 2.3 litre models use the same motor mounts?

As for AWR, expect the BEST quality money can buy. I have their full mount set, in the stiffest rubber possible, and it's AWESOME stuff.

different options on finish?? it's a motor mount for gods sake. Street unit makes me sick with useless crap like that lol

hopefully the aluminum they use on it is magical and can hold up for many miles.. somehow I really doubt it.

Go AWR if you want a part that will last. SLS and SU and others just don't compare.

and no i don't get paid to push AWR lol I wish

Because AWR has the "really nice strong motor mount" market cornered, so SU just decided to make motor mounts that look pretty and come in different colors lol

I wish I was kidding but I'm not
