I used anchor mounts for my Forester definitely a solid option.
Pros: solid option
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
As a mechanic 20+ years, Anchor is pure junk. Anchor still makes their mounts the old fashioned way: injected molded solid rubber. Many times they are so stiff, it feels like you bolted the engine directly to the frame.
Cons: pure junk, stiff, poor ride quality
Anchor is dog shit
Cons: very poor quality
Anchor is the same brand you get when you bring your car to your local mechanic. They are not amazing, they are not the worst. I’ve used them plenty and haven’t had an issue, others have.
Pros: no personal issues
Cons: not amazing, inconsistent quality (others' experience)
Anchor mounts are shit.
Cons: poor quality
I bought anchors for my 07 matrix, the rear mount was a 1hr job, every other mount was 30 mins. The rear mount turned into a 12 hour job after it failed (worse than the oem mount with 180k miles on it) after 2k miles. Accelerating made the engine twist and bang against a few things, and made the CV joints bind up. The old anchor mounts studs weren't in the exact same spot as the OEM, causing me to bend then into place, then the spot for the engine bracket to attach to the rubber was actually smaller than OEM, and shrunk the bracket attached to the engine. So when I put an OEM mount in, it didn't fit anymore due to bent brackets.
Cons: failed quickly, poor fitment, engine vibration, CV joint issues
Vehicle:
Toyota Matrix
Mileage: 3218 km
The anchor mounts are the definition of "You looked different online". My 2 year old could've crafted me better mounts tbh
Cons: poor quality, not as advertised
Anchor brand is kinda hit or miss, sold just about everywhere but never know if the quality control person was actually at work that day or not. For price difference and it being a lightweight Camry engine id go ahead and do it, if they last 5 years it's better than $700.
Pros: potentially long lasting (5 years)
Cons: inconsistent quality control
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
I’ve had lots of vibration issues with anchor mounts.
Cons: vibration issues
