motor mounts?
What would you guys suggest for good engine mounts? I remember someone mentioned the poly urethane things from I think energy suspension, but I'm not sure if they are good. Any thoughts on those?
I want something that will last (pain in the you know what to change! lol) and something that will isolate as much engine vibrations and what not as possible. So do polyurethane mounts seem good? I don't really know anythng about if they isolate vibrations well or just last a long time and what not.
If not, whats a good brand to get? I'm a little concerned that mounts are less than $10 at the parts store bcause I don't want to be getting somethign that has to be changed really soon. I'd rather pay more to get something that will last if you know what I mean. Thank you in advance!

The best ones to keep vibration down are probably GM parts. The poly ones actually give me a little more vibration because they are stiff and do not flex like rubber. They do last a long, long time though! I like them because they transmit a little more power to the ground a little faster because of the less amount of flex...

oh thanks guys! See, that is what I was kind of worried/thinking about in regards to the poly ones. You guys are the best!
