Default Which Motor Mounts for turbo??

Well, I've heard when getting motor mount inserts you only need one set of either the Energy Suspension set including: Front Lower Left Torque Mount, Front Lower Right (tranny) Torque Mount, Rear Firewall Mount.



Or the Prothane ones that include: Upper Left Mount and Upper Right Mount



Which ones do I need, or do you guys recommend replacing the OEM mounts all together for something else? I really don't want anything too harsh, since this is a daily driver, but I don't mind a little vibration. Inputs???

I like my solid mounts. They are cheap to make and the motor does not move at all.

Well, this is for a street car, so I'm assuming they will be okay? But do I really need both sets?

I bought an NRG engine torque damper and it eliminated 90% of my wheel hop. My car used to hop the **** out of itself until I installed the torque damper. Now it's pretty hard to make it hop at all. I feel no extra interior vibrations compared to before. $55 well spent.

I would think that for a street car just the motor mounts would be ok.When i had them the car rattled like crazy?

the prothane inserts are plenty stiff for me, almost too much actually. I have both top mount inserts and the rear. For the top driver side I used the race insert.

Bump because I ordered both, but they sent me the wrong Energy Suspension kit, they sent me trailer arm bushings.... But I did get the correct Prothane ones.

Will I be okay with just the prothane inserts? Because I heard that you really only need one of the two posted above, I just don't which one I need.
