I can't believe how angry I am right now. Less than 200 miles on the front mount. And it has snapped IN HALF, and I had to drive 60 miles home with it. I will get pictures up as soon as I jack the car up. Unbelievable. $80, down the f***ing drain. I better get my money back. And any damage to te car it may have caused. FF*******!!!
Sls Horrifying Product!!!

That is alarming... =/ I wonder if SLS has seen any cases of this before?

Holy crap, I guess no SLS mount for me... AWR or Inserts it is, sorry for the crap luck though and hopefully nothing is damaged.

Anyone up for a nice package deal on the front & side mounts? Just got the replacement bracket for the side mount & probably not going back on the car. After seeing this makes me want to put my stock one with rr inserts back on the front. May see them soon in the FS section. Anyone interested in the pair can PM to get pics & pics will be posted in FS when they get there. Just not up for this kinda iffiness. My stock ones with just the inserts up front have served me well for years now problem free. Neither were even torn or anything when switching to these. I have a daily driver sport auto so I should be having no worries with mounts....& I won't, soon.

They'll probably give you another one but will you be able to trust it? And they'll probably tell you some crap about how the bolts were overtightened or some other nonsense about how you installed it wrong. I bet it won't have anything to do with weld strength either. Interested in this explanation. Keep us posted.
That looks like bad welding. This is the first front motor mount that I have seen on the forums that broke. I'm sure they will make good and either ship a new one to you or give a refund. This is probably just one of those freak accidents. Welder probably messed up on the one mount.

The weld in the pic looks pretty uniform & welded about as much as it could've been. Unless he picked up some stray soft metal rod or what, a bad section of wire in the spool? IDK

Looks like a bad design.
That's messed up.
I guess inserts would be better.

I've now seen both the SLS and AWR mount's break at the welds like that!
AWR? I have never heard about an AWR mount breaking.

I'll see if i can find the thread that has pictures give me a day or two.
Edit: Found it.
