Poly Engine mounts
Looking for some recommendations here. In need of engine mounts ASAP. My rear lower mount has completely broken and I have to get it fix, like, yesterday.
I'd rather not spend the time and money on an OEM now if I'm just going to go poly in a few months. Just makes this opportune but I wont have time to do a DIY, I need something I can buy and receive overnight.
The only mounts I know I can purchase are these:

All things considered buying from SR is not an option this time. Does anyone know of another option?

Yes, remove your support brace from under your car with both front and rear mounts attached. Take it to a welder and have them weld the mounts solid using 1/4" thick steel discs. Should cost you well under $100 and you'll have a much better feel than poly. Wish I did this first before wasting my money on the poly's.

For an ASAP fix, get a couple of tubes of regular silicone (or the much-loved windo-weld) and fill the busted stock mount. It'll last until you figure out what you want for a permanent fix.

Sadly that's not going to be an option this week. I have a job interview on Thursday that could potentially double my current salary and give me back a 9-5 shift, so it has to be done tomorrow. I called a shop I trust locally and they're going to install an OEM tomorrow morning. I'll take the originals over to my tuner when I get the exhaust fabbed in spring and have him weld on the supports to make it solid. Just not in the card right now as I can't afford my typical "let me just fix this as well, while I'm here" down time. I know me, I can't be trusted.

Poly mounts from your original post are on my car and they produce major vibration. If you don't need that performance level or want to deal with that then stick with the stock rubber ones.
