It is there to catch the engine if the mount rubber shears off.

Its there to make you have to remove the engine to put them back in when you forget them the first time around.

I have solid mount and don't run them, as long as you have good mounts I wouldn't worry about it.

there is a subframe under the motor anyway, where the hell is the motor going to go IF a mount brakes and that metal bucket isn't there?

Its not like the oil pan isnt already an inch away from the subframe. Only way it might do any noticable damage is if you had diff mounts stretched like a $5 *****, and loose PPF bolts, and 2 broken engine mounts, and it was able to freely move around. Unlikely.

and you fliped the car with no hood on and you un-bolted the engine from the trans in mid air.

+1 on all of the above. Unless i can find one super cheap ill just end up running without them thanks for the advice
