Is there any way of distinguishing between the standard ST205 engine mounts and the C-ONE Uprated Engine Mount Set?
Are there any distinct markings to look for?
Can the rubber mounting be tested in any way?
Thanks

These look the same as the TRD mounts so wouldn't be surprised if they are made by the same manufacturer

Looks like the TRD uprated engine mounts shown on the left of the diagram below have been discontinued :-(

I think I still have a couple of the TRD ones - brand new & unused & up for sale to any seriously interested persons. Will have a look and put the part numbers up...

Cheers
Mark

I have just bought a C-ONE Uprated Engine Mount Set off ebay but wanted to confirm that's actually what I got.
They have no markings on.
They look similar to what I have on my car already hence the original question.
I assume that its the rubber bushes part of the mount that are different?

Yes, the TRD mounts look almost identical to the OEM mounts. From the pics of the C-One kit they look very similar too.

I have a set of TRD mounts so it would be fascinating to compare them with the C-One kit you have and take some pics

I have now confirmed that I have the C-ONE 3-piece engine mount set.
Had them fitted last Saturday (thanks Peter).
Also took photos of the standard and C-ONE mounts side by side.

Engine Mount - Passenger side.
Standard mount at the top - C-ONE mount at the bottom.

Gearbox mount - front.
Standard mount on the right - C-ONE mount on the left.

Gearbox mount - rear.
Standard mount on the right - C-ONE mount on the left.

There is one particular thing that I notice and that is the vibration of the engine is that much more noticeable - perhaps rather obvious considering that the rubbers of these mounts are a lot harder.
