Are you certain the group n mounts are more fragile and prone to wear and tear rather than the factory OEM? The group n mounts are made of better rubber material and drastically stop engine movement and increase throttle response shown in many reviews and demonstrations.

Exactly what I'm trying to say and I saw a YouTube vid that shows the difference between stock and the group n mounts and it's a huge difference, a hell of a lot stiffer, little to none engine movement when on throttle.
They do stop engine movement better than stock. But they are the same design as the stock mounts so they will eventually have the same type of failure. I'm not trying to discourage you from getting them just don't be surprised if they do tear on you 1-2 years down the line. You have to remember that racing parts when used by actual racing teams are inspected regularly and replaced when needed.

Look at the design of a group N mount or OEM for that matter vs a beatrush/cusco/torque performance/etc.
The OEM/GroupN design itself is based on rubber sandwiched between 2 pieces of metal.
A few pics to get what I'm saying. Now if you don't have a good amount of torque being produced by your motor ie) 300+ , maybe the stock mounts will be fine for you. But I'm all about doing it once and doing it right. Your call.

A failed Group-N , which is what happened to my 05 sti.(not my pic)
Here's your stock mount.
