Whilst it's far from impossible to break mounts, it's worth making sure you're not starting from behind the eight ball - do the mounts that have broken have a bridgestone B on them?
There's some knockoff mounts going around and they break if you look at them funny.
I agree that upgraded through-bolted mount are a good idea, as is a transfer lift.

They're new mounts I bought from Suzistore. Can't see a B on them. Thanks for the help guys, looks like there's a few options!

That's interesting. We've had a few guys in the club source mounts that have been non genuine and they generally haven't lasted a day. The genuine mounts will take some hideous abuse - normally the transfer arms bend well before the mounts break.
Not that an upgrade isn't a bad idea, just an observation.
Steve.

No, I don't, but they might be worth pricing from a dealer - at least you know they'd be genuine*, and not all parts pricing is that bad.
*I guess there's a risk they'd be from Maruti, and might not be to Japanese spec.
Trail tough might be a source - they carry lots of OEM suzuki parts, but the shipping is the problem as TT only ship UPS.
Steve.

Totally agree with you here!! The suzistore/suzisports ones ive had were all aftermarket and just fell apart. Heck one of the old genuine mounts had wayyy more bonding strength then 2 of the new put together!
