AWR Makes really nice stuff. We sell a lot of their protege mounts and I have to say they are reaaaallly stiff.

Those look like the only reasonable design I've seen yet, the bushing damps both compressive and tensile loads, unlike the other ghetto mounts people have posted on the forum.

The ghetto mounts consist simply of a bolt going through a cylindrical poly bushing. The problem is the poly bushing only has an effect when it is compressed, under tension the load is all on the bolt with no damping. So if the load goes from compression (squeezing the bushing) to tension (decompressing the bushing) the bolt gets impacted with not only the movement of the engine but even the force of the bushing decompression is assisting with the destruction of the bolt. Stay away from these types of engine mounts.

The AWR mounts look pretty decent, at least the design looks reasonable.
