i got my stuff from rockauto.com they shipped fast and had great prices.  the switch took about 1 hr.  I wasn't really in any hurry it could have been done faster.

Jeeze, my motor mounts cost $70 - but they are a little beefier than stock ;)

I see they now have an ultraflex rubber set for $100, must cut down on the poly vibes

I had a set of 1" Curries that I made work.  Then I received a free set from TD performance to T&E.  After that I went back to stock mounts with JKS spacers.  The vibrations in a daily driver were a bit annoying to say the least.  Other then the vibrations, the biggest difference was the powertrain torquing when starting off on on a hill.  I'm sure the vibrations while idling didn't help my exhaust any either.  I went through a few exhaust hangers on my Borla.

I might order up the new bushings, they only cost $30 if you bought your MM's before they were available.

I doubt they will be worth it.  MORE had something similar but stopped making them.  I don't think you can have BOTH a solid bushing that also isolates engine vibrations.  If I didn't do any many on road miles as I do, I would have probably kept the poly mounts.
