You want less vibrations new OEM mounts are the way to go.
All the aftermarket choices is just going to get you more, maybe some of them could last a bit longer but I wouldn't bet on that.

my oem mounts were bad, i only replaced them to remove flex due to the additional power of being fi. my car idles at 1k rpm and it feels just like it did prior to installing the vibratechnics... although i do belive i may have a bad trans mount (which I will replace with oem)

aftermarket trans mounts are brutally bad in our vehicles. engine mounts unless u go extremely stiff arent that bad

Unfortunately, yes - I kept the mounts for about a year and 5000 miles but the idle vibrations didn't really go down much. The car being a 12 year old convertible didn't help the rattles either. I absolutely love how sharp it made everything though - really wish I had an 06+ with FlashPro and the Vibratechnics mounts sometimes.

Car Analogy

Suggestion. Get oem mounts, and an engine torque damper. The etd will make the mounts last much longer, while adding only minimal additional vibes. It will also help make the engine response more direct.

I've got an NRG ETD on the way as we speak. Can't wait to test this theory for myself.

I see. Personally I'd just run stiffer engine mounts and leave the trans mount alone when I go FI. I'm quite keen on the Spoon mounts if I do go that route of swapping the mounts out.

Sharp(er than usual) sounds good
