Default Looking to get aftermarket mounts... Need a few Q's answered first.

Hi all, Im looking into getting a set of aftermarket engine/trans mounts for my car... I daily drive the car so one of my main concerns is that the vibrations arent too bad.

I'd prefer something cheaper than 300+ dollar billet mounts. I dont need "bling" I am a little bit sketchy on buying eBay mounts as they are a fairly structural part of the car.

My first choice was the steel mounts by Innovative. How does the 60A rating on the inserts deal with engine vibrations? Should I look into a lower rating bushing?

Thanks!

There aren't really a lot of people who offer info on the different durometer ratings regarding daily drivability. The 88a Hasports that I have are actually very, very bearable. They rattle for sure, but I would expect the 60a's to be much more docile. You can't get lower than 60a aftermarket mounts, can you>

OK, thanks... I ahve been hesitant about getting mounts because we tuned an ol' BMW 2002 with a mid-80's M3 engine that had aftermarket mounts, and the thing was almost unbearable. It droned sooo bad when driving on the highway. I never found out the rating on them... All i rememebr is that they were yellow... oh well.
