Unless you running or intending on running forged internals at some point - Personally I wouldn't bother.
Hawk STI's are good for, but pretty much maxed at about 350bhp/380fltb, which the OEM top mount can cope with. Beyond this the Engine Internals are on borrowed time, and the turbo and injector are running out of headroom even if if the engine could take it.
Plus a front mount will introduce a little more lag. And laggless is one of the great things about the 2.5 hawk.
