Default So torn on motor mounts... Help

I have a 07 with 400+hp and I have stock mounts... Recently blew out the right one. I have looked into innovative 75a but I'm not sure if that's going to be to stiff or not and cause unnecessary vibration throughout the car, also with being boosted one mount is directly under the turbo I heard of then melting, plus over time that style of bushing cracks....Ive seen the mugen ones as well and am very tempted to buy but I am affraid they will not handle the eventual 500hp. I don't want OEM obviously, but I don't want inline pro rigid mounts either.... Any suggestions or a little more info on some mounts you guys have been know to hold up on a s2k..

my right motor mount broke too D: but i think that oem is the best way to go.
they last a decent amount of time and replacing it its pretty easy.

price for oem is 121 shipped.
pretty cheap. and you should make a heat sheild so it lasts longer!

OEM will not hold 500+ hp I shift once into second or third and hook it will snap just the same as it did this last time. Yes the OEM are less inexpensive but I'm not worried about cost, I want a quality product and willing to pay for it, just don't wanna throw my money away on a "bunk" product.

Thanks for the links though I appreciate that.

How much hp u running on ur s2 to snap it? Or where u just driving aggressively?

Come guys I see so many sick cars in here and hear about all these high hp numbers and nobody else has any input?! Come on guys enlighten me!

What about Hardrace motor mounts?
Also, may be out of the question but what about an Engine Torque Dampener? should help relieve some stress.

You can't have it both ways. If you want a stiffer mount that flexes less and can 'handle' more HP, you going to have to deal with vibration. No way around it.

Why get a bandaid for the problem when you're already looking at replacing the mounts? Better off running the 75A Innovative mounts and just being done with it.
