Default Engine Mounts

What causes the engine mounts to start drooping, age or milage?. Anyone knows the correct gap between the exhaust pipes and the bumper.

^^^ - you will feel a dramatic improvement in your driving experience getting new mounts if you can see the sag. She is begging for some upgrades!!!

I replaced mine in my 06S a few years ago. They weren't sagging but I noticed It didn't like to shift under hard braking.
Thew in some Wevo Semis Solid mounts and the Function First Trans mounts and problem solved.
It's got more cabin vibration but I like it. The weight of the engine feels more attached than the OE mounts.
