Using this engine mount kit is a great way to improve your 2000 - 2009 Honda S2000's performance. But before you start, always check if the kit fits your vehicle. We highly recommend getting a mechanic or automotive specialist to install it. Once you've bolted the mounts down, they can't be returned or swapped, so be sure it's the right fit. After installation, you might notice a bit of vibration depending on your engine, but that's normal for performance - oriented mounts. There's no need to worry about notching or trimming the hood as it's a direct replacement. To keep the mounts in good shape, there's not much you need to do. Just have your vehicle regularly serviced by a professional, and they'll check the mounts as part of the process. Enjoy the reduced wheel hop and improved driving response that these mounts offer.
