Poly motor mounts worth the extra $$?

[HaynStang]

I got some Energy poly engine mounts for the '90, haven't gotten around to putting them on yet, now I'm wondering if I should just get some stock replacement mounts from NAPA and save the 100 bucks. The stock mounts are like $62 and I paid around $150 for the poly ones.

Are the polyurethane mounts really going to hold up that much longer, or make the car feel noticeably more responsive off the line? It's just a DD with a stock engine so it's not like I need them to hold up to high horsepower, but with the shot stock mounts in there now I can tell the whole engine shifts upward when I start from a dead stop, even when driving slowly...

with a stock engine i dont think your really going to notice a difference... they start to come in handy with higher horsepower applications...it transfers the power better because the engine flexes less at launch...in your case i wouldnt bother...

Are the Napa mounts lifetime warranty? If so, that kind of removes the longevity issue (since you can swap them as needed). I run some parts-store mounts in the vert and they seem to be fine to me. If you get mounts from there, ask for mounts for any year aero fox Vert or mounts for any 93 (as they should give you vert mounts since all aero foxes received vert mounts by the end of the run).

Don't forget your trans mount and crossmember bushings.

Good luck.
