looking to much into motor mounts

I have narrowed it down to these three and have no idea whats better or what to look for. I want new tranny and motor mounts.

Also if i get a torque arm setup from spohn will they give me a new tranny mount?

Prothane is a good name, but I don't know if they're 50% better than ES (I've been getting ES stuff for mine).

Which Spohn torque arm were you planning on getting? The crossmember and torque arm that moves the mount from tranny to torque arm is the better set-up. But, I don't believe any of them include a new tranny mount.

Ya thats the one im getting. I got a pretty large powerplant going in and I dont want to harm the tranny.

Btw I saw they did rear ends too. Do they have good prices compared to the rest of the market?

Re: looking to much into motor mounts

their rear prices are about on par with everybody else, if you look around you may be able save a few bux here and there, but maybe not. they are a board sponsor, so its nice to support them. I will admit, i decided to buy my new rear from exotic performance, they had a slightly better price at the time and shipping was free++

as for poly brands, i have used both and the only issue i ever had was that my energy suspension trans mount failed, with less than 10k miles, i bought a prothane one to replace it and it just looked a little beefier to me.
