Default Engine mounts

Time for replacements. Car has sidewinder turbo setup. Should I just go oem again or aftermarket? I do have the innovative Trans mount already installed but had sold off the motor mounts years ago.

Was thinking
Oem
Vibratechnics
Has sport
Innovative

Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Im running Megan racing. I think they are very similar to the solid rubber spoon mounts. They are noticeably stiffer than oem but should have less NVH compared to the urethane mounts.

i had the megan racing mounts in my car and i hated them. I went back with new stock engine mounts and am much happier.

I'm using the Megan/Hardrace mounts, and while the engine mounts worked pretty well, I had to go back to OEM transmission mounts to eliminate the added NVH. YMMV, of course...

By far I believe the Vibratechnics are the best.

What makes the Vibratechnics the best?

If you’re sensitive to NVH then the Vibratechnics will still bother you.

They’re tamer than the Megan mounts (and of course innovative/hasport/etc) but still more than I was willing to live with

They are billet aluminum, rebuildable and rubber that is stiff enough to make the driving experience better with less engine movement, yet not too harsh like poly mounts.

Gotcha. Ive had good experience with the megan racing mounts. Im using the megan racing engine/tranny/diff mounts. It's def worse than stock NVH wise but not terrible imo. One thing that a couple people have said that makes a noticeable difference is a fluidampr. Im skeptical itll help NVH but can't hurt . Im going to run a fluidampr as well.

What engine mount would be considered just 1 step above oem as far as stiffness?
