STI motor mounts on WRX?

Will stock STI motor mounts fit on a WRX? My mounts are going out, and was wondering if that would be a quick and clean upgrade rather than going all out for race mounts.

If you are talking about an 04 or 05 STI I'm not sure. But they do sell STI motor mounts to fit on a stock WRX 02 and 03. And I'm sure they make them for 04 and 05 WRX's as well.

Are the STI mounts stronger than the WRX ones? I would imagine they would be. The STI Group N's are on some serious back order and no shop here can get them now. Thats why I was looking into just some new stock mounts for now. Don't really want to mess anything else up.

Got some STI group N mounts installed. Feels tighter now. I had asked about the stock STI mounts vs WRX mounts and was told they were the same. The japan version of the STI mounts are much better than the US versions. Either go with a japan STI mount or a STI group N mount.

they feel really good. don't notice any extra vibrations at all. it could be that my old ones were sooo bad that the new mounts are improvements. i did all the mounts, the two motor mounts, the tranny mount and the pitch stop mount.
