I know. $$$$
I'm thinking i'm going to go with something stiffer than stock(maybe even solid), but product availability might dictate what I do.
I'm not sure where to go to get some solid ones though.

I'm curious as to how much stiffer the Gotham ones are to the Rotorsports Racing ones........or even if that's worth worrying about.

Ive got the Rotorsports racing ones in my car. They barely vibrate at all, I notice them mostly when im in bumper to bumper traffic and the car jumpin forward and back when im in and off the clutch. Only at slow speeds in first and second. Its not my daily driver so I dont mind a rough ride. My stock ones were shot when I had the motor rebuilt so I upgraded then.

Well, I went and bought the Gotham ones. They had them in stock. I talked to the guys at Rotorsports Racing, and they were actually my first choice, but they weren't sure when they would have any cores in. My car is my daily right now, so that is a problem.
Very nice to deal with though.

It's not likely that both of your OEM mounts are bad. I believe it is the drivers side mount that usually fails. Mazda decided to make that one aluminum. The other one is steel, and rarely fails. The new replacement OEM mount is steel.

In my case the passenger side mount failed. I replaced then with the stiffer mazda motorsports units. I'm very happy with them. But they were pricey.
