I thirdly recommend you don't touch the sides.

A) If your drag racing, those aren't going to be affected most of the time (side mounts). Even AutoXing I don't see them being much of a problem.

B) Replacing all 4 will vibrate your ass off. I'm serious. I've been in a car with all of them replaced. You know when you turn up the speaker system in the car the door panel vibrates? Imagine that everywhere throughout the car. It probably degrades the life of electronics and panels and pops screws loose too.

So what is the best set up? I wasn't going to get all 4 as this is my daily driver.

I definitely need the gear box one. So, would just replacing the front and back motor mounts be best?

I would replace the gear box mount with a stock mount and then get the poly mounts for the front and rear mounts. That should keep the engine from torqueing enough to damage the two stock mounts.

^^ agreed. You most likely don't even need the rear @ 200whp. YOu probably just worn them down slowly over time.

So uprating the front and rear mounts would be enough to stop any strain on the gear box mount, if I use an OEM one?

Thanks for the help guys.

I assume "front and rear mounts" is a universal expression, so I can order some from KSpec like that and they will know what I mean?

Yep, going to KSpec and order two of the YaYas. Or, if you wanna go cheap, you could polyurethane fill them yourself and save yourself $100. If you take your time they turn out 90% as effective as a regular mount. And you could slightly fill the gearbox mount to get it a little tougher.

That may be true.. but if you have never driven a Supercharged car instead of a Turbo.. they hit pretty good from idle on up. I think Xorro is a leadfoot and has beated her mounts into submission.
